It's lucky for some people that I'm not hiring right now, because I'd probably perma-denylist anyone I caught sending me LLM-generated text, especially for something that's supposed to be one-to-one, like a cover letter/email.

That is such a obvious imminent plague upon society, in so many ways, and the only thing I can do is nip the few buds that are within my reach.

I feel the same way, but it’s actually not easy to detect LLMs. Anyone who experimented with writing styles and been using them for a while, can easily create texts that are indistinguishable from a real person.

Fine tune a small LLM to your past emails, cover letters, resumes and etc. then go ham.

Right, and the last thing you want is false negatives here.
