@darius I just put out an ad for a producer job and I am awaiting these with horror and trepidation

@mewo2 I highly recommend going to ChatGPT and prompting it with "Write me a cover letter for a [job title] job at [specifically name your company, maybe with a brief description of what they do]. It came back with a variant of what I'm seeing from everyone

@darius @mewo2 Wow. Just did this for a job I am hiring for, and damned if that cover letter from ChatGPT-4 (Bing) didn’t read just like the cover letters we got.

@bhawthorne @mewo2 I prompted "Write a cover letter to a journalism and technology nonprofit called Meedan. It is for a Frontend Engineer job."

@darius @bhawthorne @mewo2 and of course the people who are doing this never stop to think that you can have chatGPT write a letter too for comparison. You could even have a script that compares incoming letters with the chatGPT sample.

Compute the Hamming distance…

@darius thankfully we don't ask for cover letters (and there's nowhere on the form to add one) but I'll definitely be having a play around with some of our questions

@darius @mewo2 "Write me a cover letter for [...] that does not look like it was generated by an LLM."
