Anne Hathaway received the same AI-written thank you note from every candidate—and Meryl Streep said what every boss is thinking: “That’s just tragic.”
I definitely agree about putting in some effort if it’s for something important to you, but that’s probably not how people doing stuff like that think.
They’re all about optimizing their output, with a spammer’s mindset. Who cares about effort, you can have a robot apply for a million things at once and just wait for whatever sticks. They believe they’ve cracked the system. And who knows, maybe most recruiters can’t tell (yet).
Yet another case of slop pollution making every aspect of life worse.

That strategy works if you are applying for a cog in a machine kind of job, it won’t work for a personal assistant to the boss kind of job.
