Title: Via yesterday&#x27;s whoishiring thread, I received more than 70 emails. A good percentage of them (nearly half of them) came with unedited AI-generated cover letters.<p>Please don&#x27;t do this. I spend time going through the resume, the various links in it, and then responding to everyone who applied. But this time, with so much AI-generated verbiage I simply don&#x27;t want to.<p>I understand non-native speakers of English wanting to use AI. But frankly, just saying &quot;here&#x27;s my resume (and github&#x2F;blog&#x2F;publications etc)&quot; is better than ChatGPT content. Writing longer emails creates an obligation for us (at the hiring end), and when it&#x27;s AI-generated you&#x27;re just wasting our time. If there&#x27;s a distinct AI-generated tone to the email, I&#x27;m inclined to not consider the application.
