I run my cover letters through an LLM because I do not and cannot speak businessslop, and every time I read the output it makes my skin crawl.
No wonder execucreeps love these things.

@kichae@wanderingadventure.party I think LLM writing has the “Average size” problem. Background: in the 50s the US Air Force had fit issues in their planes. They discovered that their “average size” cockpits didn’t fit most pilot’s actual dimensions in all categories, leading to discomfort for almost everyone. I feel like LLM writing is this way. By being a statistical product of many writers voices, even within the same genre, it ends up fitting none of them, giving it a distinctive “uncanny” twinge in the voice. I think that is part where the skin crawl comes from.
