Actually, this is an excellent development! The job posting, resume + cover letter dance has been an integral part of bullshit work for decades. Why not offload it all to a machine? The results will be roughly the same since it's essentially an overly complicated encoding mechanism for the initial stages of formalized employment negotiations.

It certainly will make the hiring part of the work a little more difficult.

Previously this step could be used as a filter, but now all the letters are going to be good which means the hiring part has just become a little more difficult.

Is this a good thing? I guess?
