Table of contents In recent weeks, I've noticed an increase in job applications generated by ChatGPT, raising concerns about their authenticity. While AI-powered language models like ChatGPT can be beneficial for research and creativity, relying solely on them for applications can lead to unauthentic and unimpressive submissions. Misinformation is a common issue, with applicants mentioning skills and experiences they don't actually possess. Generic and long cover letters are also prevalent, lacking personalization and specific examples of impact. Additionally, AI-generated answers often lack relevant specifics and fail to demonstrate genuine enthusiasm for the company or role. To avoid these pitfalls, applicants should use ChatGPT as a source of inspiration while adding their unique experiences and skills to create personalized and authentic applications that showcase their value and potential.
