     @Urban_Hermit @Numerfolt @Andres4NY @paninid I'm marking essays. Imagine having to read eighty essays on the same topic, 2400 words each, all run through cgatgpt, most entirely generated. I'm losing the will to live.

     @Numerfolt @Andres4NY @paninid you have summarized it far better than me, "some of this is just bullshit".

     I write well and have few problems filling a page. My mastery is connotation, when space is limited every word is doing 2 jobs, what it means, what it implies.

     I found Chat-GPT was changing words and implied experiences or skills that were not true. So my resume was now less accurate and also made minor chores sound like big accomplishments. To someone familiar with those jobs - bullshit.

     Minoru Saba repeated this.

     @Urban_Hermit @Andres4NY @paninid That's what I dislike about it. Somebody ran my resume through an AI and I agreed only with formal errors but some of the recommendations were just bullshit

     @Andres4NY @paninid
     I got a chance to either slightly modify or defend every word and every sentence in my resume.
     I guess that is useful.

     But I also discovered that AI is blandifying, fluffing up, and averaging out everyone's' resumes. The people who have to read this slop at the end, after their AI spits out a dozen of the most average and repetitive resumes? I can't imagine how random that must feel, selecting among the most average of the average.

     @Andres4NY @paninid
     I used AI to rewrite my resume, pretty much because a friend of mine almost forced me to, and I excruciatingly went through every proposed change and argued with it.

     In my opinion, "more professional" to it just meant adding more fluff words to say the same thing, and since I am "older", it was already too long.

     And it of course agreed with me. Because I was right, or because it always agrees in the end? Acting like it even has an opinion in the first place is a mistake.
