I'm so glad to read about this!
Why?
Because it adds significant validation to my premise that AI is simply "automation improved" at this juncture and a crutch more than a viable tool in 90% of use cases.
In short, seeing "I made this because I was tired of wasting time with writing letters while applying for jobs" has me dying with laughter because the translation I come up with is "I am so crippled by laziness I'm recalcitrant to do the work to actually get the position to do work" and that's my take-away.
Of course there will be arguments to my perspective and I welcome them. I would like to feature them in my writings on this subject. AI is a shortcut for lazy, otherwise talentless people. I say this as neither.
