Pretty cool to see completely GPT-3 written cover letters!

A while ago I made an application that uses semantic sentence embeddings to identify which gaps in skills you have relative to a job description; let me know if it might be of interest to you to include that information in prompts on your site: www.revision.ai/CV

It was well done. I put in the bare minimum of information

> Paste the Job Description: Do the STEM stuff

> Paste your Resume: * Worked with kids, * Know some STEM

and it spat out a cover letter that filled in all the unsaid details, completely inventing it from whole cloth, talking about "motivating students" and how "using creative approaches such as storytelling and hands-on activities, I was able to bring excitement into my classes..."

That said, the result was that it highlighted how meaningless and full of bullshit a cover letter is.
