That's the thing, writing job applications sucks - and it's time consuming - which is why too many resort to just copy/pasting the same template for many jobs, which obviously shows if you've ever read a job application before. A lot of posters here seem to complain (or have, for the past weeks) the GPT-3 output comes off as mediocre, but I'd wager that a lot of the job applications we see today are worse than mediocre, often times horrible. It sucks that the end result would be some standoff between ML-software that reads job applications, written by some other ML-software, but there's lots of hours to be saved - from the human standpoint. If I don't have to write 10 letters, then that's probably 10 hours saved from my part - as I easily use an hour to write a tailored job letter.
