    With Claude my cover letters take all of 15 minutes to “write.” It’s like the old Soviet adage (slightly adjusted): They pretend to read them, so we pretend to write them.

      funny how literally the only thing i consistently see AI being useful for is the pointless bullshit tasks that don’t accomplish anything but the further complication of shit that didn’t need to be so complicated in the first place. such as busywork. They’re jerking us around to waste our time so i see no reason to treat their time as though it’s particularly valuable either; turnabout is fair play, after all.
