I can tell you that our HR takes the time to write proper responses to every application, but we straight up delete AI written applications. I honor the effort put into any application, but if people haven’t spent the time, then why should we?

Your HR is the exception though, not the rule. I'm willing to risk this, since it allows me to keep my sanity. And if a company really seems awesome I will still put in the effort.

I believe you have entered a race to the bottom and while I understand why, I'm pretty certain you can't win this way.

You are effectively filtering out the remaining companies that do care from the pool that you're talking to.
