I'm willing to bet there are and will be thousands of instances of people in important positions using LLMs to make decisions for them and have no idea what criteria was actually used.
The decision spit out may look great at first blush, but, as in this case, be hugely problematic.

@isotopp as much as I want to believe this, I’m having a hard time with the idea that a senior member of staff would tweet something that obviously immediately opens them up to 4,000 lawsuits.

@isotopp Who even writes their age on their CV?

This is a strong point. Perhaps he got an LLM to tweet it for him.

@elricofmelnibone @isotopp It looked for college graduation date. That should be in your cv.

@isotopp The HR manager automatically declared herself useless and unfit for her role. Now they need to hire a new HR manager too.

@mortentorten That's a proxy for age at best. Plenty of people graduate at later ages after they start working.
My CV doesn't mention my education at all, nor does it include all of the work I've done because then it would get too long.

Additionally: The problem he identifies is only that they may be open to lawsuits and not that they're filtering out a load of qualified and experienced candidates?
Also that the only issue was ageism (I'd be shocked if this approach didn't also discount most female candidates, though the 'youthful energy' bit of the prompt will almost certainly filter out anyone who has age-related signals in their CV).
It appears that this is the original tweet (xcancel because I don't want to send traffic to the Nazi Bar, remove the 'cancel' from the URL to avoid the mirror).
The post appears to be trying to drive traffic to his legal AI newsletter. So I suspect it's a made-up story by someone trying to sell legal-adjacent advice.

@isotopp Even setting aside the ridiculous idea that using "AI" makes it okay, specifying "youthful energy" shows an unambiguous intent to discriminate on the basis of age.
