I would go as far as saying that attaching a generic, AI-ish cover letter is a) disrespectful and b) far worse than attaching no cover latter at all.

It's disrespectful because it's essentially a fake/empty message (often a regurgitation of the CV) and a bet that the receiving side will be dumb enough not to notice.

I occasinally use cover letters to highlight super specific things that called my attention or that make me a particularly well-suited candidate.

We empathize your point that a generic AI-ish cover letter adds no value to society.

That's the reason we designed a system that generates cover letters as personalized as possible. These are displayed in a rich text editor, as we encourage our users to use it as a skeleton and not as a final version.

I used to agree wholly, until I began reading accounts from hiring managers who don't read a single fucking word of a single cover letter - with AI or otherwise.

Really burned me up.

I still recommend a proper, well-considered cover letter.

Just wonder if I'm doing the candidate a disservice, based on what I'm hearing.
