I’m afraid that this is going to be dead on arrival regardless of outcome.

Companies will begin to not rely on cover letters due to the rise of AI usage. Even if they do still use cover letters, the AI detectors are now (finally) going to be applied there.

As a last resort, the employer might require the candidate to write the cover letter in person in the assessment centre with no access to the internet.

Assuming you're not joking, that's just silly. Unless a candidate is desperate, why would they ever accept a "requirement" like that?

You know some companies in Japan still require you to write your resume by hand?

If rather do this then the bs leetcode grind.

With any luck this will just kill the cover letter in its entirety and save job seekers a lot of time.

That's a verbal interactive activity and it's called the interview isn't it? :)

Sounds to me like they won't be getting many applicants then.

That depends on how much AI-cover-letter-app prices are. If it's expensive enough few people will use it.
