Some job application websites I've seen actually have a yes or no option to consent to AI review that they claim is to simply assist HR and not actually screen you. I always select no. There is no way that selecting yes would ever be in my interest. I'm sorry, I'm going to force a real human to look at my stuff if I still can.

My fear is that pressing "no" on stuff like that is going to become an auto-rejection in the vast majority of cases
It won't be rejected. Your resume will be meticulously placed into a human review queue pending the allocation of someone to look at the contents. Meanwhile the position will be filled, and so serving no purpose the review queue will be emptied.
Oddly enough, being rejected by process versus being rejected by a person doesn't actually make me feel any better about the coming future

It's probably not going to be an auto-rejection, it's just going to sit in a queue that looks like this

    Screened Applications [13]
    Unscreened Applications [39148]
Yeah, I know

My point is that this is effectively an auto rejection
