At the risk of explaining something to someone who doesn't want it explained:

The original comment to which you replied, called Adam Jackson, CEO and founder of Braintrust, a company that distributes AI interviewers, a ghoul, for saying “The truth is, if you want a job, you’re gonna go through this thing,”. You understood that as them being offended by the truth, implying the relevant truth here was that talking to an AI is an "abhorrent act", and thus being faced by that truth makes them offended.

To which I replied, they're not offended by the implication that people will have to interact with an AI; they're abhorred by the callousness with which a CEO of a company that distributes AI interviews would so cavalierly dismiss any ethical and moral concerns on such a serious topic affecting real humans, and implicitly doing so out of personal gain with no consideration for the humans affected by this tool.

So what makes him a ghoul is that he's willing to peddle an immoral and unethical poor quality solution which causes grief and unemployment and is a faceless system without recourse, while pretending that it is inevitable and thus there's no need for concern or ethical oversight.

As an analogy, if someone sold guns to both factions and when interviewed portrayed themselves as a hero because "war is inevitable", you wouldn't be offended about the truth of war, you'd be abhorred that this guy is facilitating war and death for personal gain.
