LLMs function as a new kind of search engine, one that is amazingly useful because it can surface things that traditional search could never dream of. Don't know the name of a concept, just describe it vaguely and the LLM will pull out the term. Are you not sure what kind of information even goes into a cover letter or what's customary to talk about? Ask an LLM to write you one, it will be bland and generic sure but that's not the point because you now know the "shape" of what they're supposed to look like and that's great for getting unblocked. Have you stumbled across a passage of text that's almost English but you're not really sure what to look up to decipher it? Paste it into the LLM and it will tell you that it's "Early Modern English" which you can look up to confirm and get a dictionary for.
