Putting "personalized" in your generative AI prompt is a bit disingenuous, right off the bat.
Also, holy shit, instructing users to input the personal information of a hiring manager who hasn't agreed to have their data submitted into OpenAI's database? That feels dangerous.
This is the most useful way to use chat bots but it is also catastrophic for business language in general because it means that instead of society having a reckoning with how artificial, stilted and meaningless business language is (and how alien it is for most people to write, especially because it by design conveys zero actual authenticity) now that aspect is just going to accelerate to the point where literally chatbots are a required tool to use as a translator to communicate with anybody in a formal way at work and I promise you that future is going to be even more of a corporate hellscape.
So yeah, chatbots aren’t really a tool to help you write a cover letter, I mean they are, but much more importantly they are a tool designed to burrow between you and everybody else at your work/professional connections and force you to use it constantly just to be perceived as professional in communications. This is a hostile innovation meant to enclose an aspect of society and force us to pay rent to gain access.
This isn’t a process to be excited about, rather it is a process of technology being used as a wedge to progressively alienate us from language itself in one it’s most critical roles in our lives. We are being sold a “solution” in the form of a permanent cementing of the problem.
