What you are saying is not a hiring problem, but an education one.

If colleges stayed up to date, and teach valuable skills, the jump wouldn't be so steep!

Not perfect, but useful.

While the critique is valid, that does not offer a path to the solution.

Utilitarism is the ruling moral philosophy, and the only possible countermeasure is externalities but that depends on an effective government which is even more unlikely that asking for ethical behavior to corporations.

Don't be so concerned. There's ample evidence that thinking is often disassociated from the output.

My take is that this is a user experience improvement, given how little people actually goes on to read the thinking process.
