they’re also using chatGPT to do it
Yes, very often now and more and more, they really are. I’m seeing LOTS of people use it like it’s just, you know, a Magic Answer Machine. And sometimes, a friend. And even a therapist. (Eep!)
I think most folks have no idea how generative AI works, nor whether it could possibly produce biased answers, nor how much energy they require, how often they hallucinate, nor other problems that we smarter ones know about. It’s frightening.

I’ve seldom used it myself. For work i’ve only used it once and it was to see what kind of bullet points it would give me to lead/direct a “Lessons Learned” meeting for a project that went sideways. I didn’t give it any info about the project itself, i just wanted some guidelines for how to handle the meeting and the info i got was decent.
Anything beyond that and i would be suspicious over how accurate it was, and i could never trust that it would keep more specific info confidential.

I use it to write job application cover letters to get all the person-spec keyword bullshit in there. It’s really good at that. I rewrite it afterwards, but I find writing things that HR droids find attractive deeply upsetting, so the robot can do that bit for me. They’re just using a 'bot to scan for keywords anyway.
It is surprisingly effective, so far.

The issue i’ve heard is that this is an arms race. Now they have bots scanning resumes to traces of bots writing resumes, so now people have a bot write it, a different bot unfuck it so it looks like a person wrote it. Applying for jobs these days looks exhausting.

It always was, just now a robot tells lies for me 
ETA: I work for the NHS anyway. Our recruitment process is deeply weird.
