Will AI make resumes and cover letters *even less* useful than before?

About a year ago now I envisioned a beautiful future, where you'd have AI composing BS copy and then AI reading and analyzing said BS copy, going from succinct summary at the start to succinct summary at the end.

I think we're quite close to that future already in the case of cover letters.

Now we just need social media products that intermediate one to many interactions with a two way AI rewriting proxy summarizing/expanding communication which filters out negativity and enhances positivity and we might just have something worth caring about preserving.

> What's broken? Resumes are made to showcase the candidate's skills to a broad audience of potential employers. They're not specific. They don't say, "Here's why I'm the perfect fit for THIS role." That's about to change

This isn't really true, though. I haven't applied to a job without a specific resume since I finished school and was a totally fungible new graduate.

This is just AI spam as a solution to a made up problem.

There is no way to read "threads" on twitter anymore without being registered.
