What a great time to be alive

I swear people have investments or something tied to this. Why do I keep seeing it professed as some messiah across every sub I'm a part of?

Having been on a hiring team, and hence having reviewed many resumes and cover letters, I don't recommend doing that. I think a lot of HR people can tell AI-generated text from human-written text.

EDIT: As a compromise, I suppose you could use ChatGPT to write a draft, then edit it to sound more like you.

I strongly believe this is a turning point in society. There was life before ChatGPT, which will be very different from life after ChatGPT.

Have you tried it for anything. It's great. That's why.

This comment kind of seems AI generated.

ChatGPT is super cool, but it does leave clues about the origins of the text it produces. If I were reviewing cover letters and saw one that was clearly AI generated, I would decline to move forward with that candidate.

Also, larger companies use expensive screening tools to chew through cover letters and resumes to highlight good candidates for a given position. It seems inevitable that the makers of said tools, many of which have some degree of AI trainability, will automatically flag documents that are suspected of being AI generated.

TLDR; almost definitely not worth the risk.

No shade, but are you working that they actually read cover letters? Most companies I’ve worked for actively dread them. Lol.

Another day, another post about ChatGPT.

I was working for a company in the publishing space, hiring editors. So it was vital for us to know how skilled and careful the applicants were with words. A sloppy cover letter could eliminate them.

Ah that would make sense. Thanks for sharing.
