Quoting Tom MacWright
LLM-generated job applications and portfolios are generic and reveal nothing authentic about the candidate.
“The perfected, generated, prompted resume is generic and impersonal. It tells me nothing about this person, other than that they use particular tools.”
Tom MacWright observes a rise in job applications fully generated by LLMs, from cover letters to portfolio sites to GitHub commit messages, which strip away any authentic signal about the applicant. It matters as an early cultural friction point in how AI tooling erodes trust and individuality in hiring, though it's a commentary trend rather than a major industry announcement.
