Suddenly it dawned on me that I can plaster my CV with AI and win over actual competent people easy peasy

What were you doing between 2020 and 23? I was working on my AI skillset. Nobody will even question me because they fucking have no idea what it is themselves but only that they want it.

As an engineering manager, I've already seen cover letters and intro emails that are so obviously AI generated that it's laughable. These should be used like you use them for writing essays, as a framework with general prompts, but filled in by yourself.

Fake friendliness that was outsourced to an ai is worse than no friendliness at all.

I didn’t mean AI generated anything though 🙄. I meant put lots of ‘AI’ keyword in the resume in whatever way looks professional but in reality is pure bullshit

Watch their neuron being activated as they see magic word. Gotta play the marketing game.

You want to be AI ready? Hire me. I have spent three years working with AI and posses invaluable experience that will elevate your company into a new era of rapid development.

It feels like you didn't quite understand... If you've ever read an AI essay, you can see some of the way they currently write. When you see facts and figures thrown in from the internet in terms of what the company does and they sound.... Artificial... It's rather obvious that it was AI written. I'm currently getting AI spam and it's also quite easy to see and detect. It's the same thing.

Someone used an AI tool to write a cover letter and sent it to me. I've seen this a few times. It seems very obvious when you come across it.

I'm sure it'll get better in the future, but right now it needs massaging in order to sound real. There's a very obvious uncanny valley that exists with some AI writing. That's what I'm talking about.

Okay but we are talking about two different things which is fine by me of course but it is a little tricky. I agree though on that second topic

It's extremely easy to detect this. Recruiters actively filter out resumes like this for important roles.
