But it can also be a valuable two-way interaction - I can ask about benefits, about salary, about in-office/remote expectations. And more importantly, I can believe that those answers are binding, and not likely to be a hallucination unless the recruiter has been macro-dosing on that particular day.

Ultimately, this doesn't feel significantly different than recording a video of myself from prompts on a Google Doc.

Two-way interaction is of course valuable but it's only valuable with the team you'll actually be working with. You will never work with the recruiter who is responsible for your screening interview.
