Recently laid off and not a big AI guy… but to illustrate your points:

Tailoring + proofing resumes to _manually_ apply to jobs is a great application of LLMs in my experience. But I wouldn’t want an AI to apply for jobs for me.

Funny thing about that. This time last year I was applying for jobs and kept my same old latex generated flawed human resume that I’ve been using 20 years or so.

Recruiters said it was standing out in the tech sector. Apparently AI likes to embellish way too much so you don’t trust it.

why? they’re using ai for most of the hiring process. it’s only fair for us to do it too.

Not that you're wrong, but it creates a race to the bottom. More and more people with use AI to apply because more and more people used AI to apply.
