    golly, just look at how useful AI tools are for normal, everyday people:

    After creating an account, the recruiter opened up an AI resume-generating website called livecareer.com. The previous applicant’s “work experience” page was still open; they used AI to generate a description for their nightclub bouncer job. I was directed to erase that and do the same with my own previous experience as a software engineer. “Make it sound as fancy as possible,” the recruiter said.

    After entering my former job title, a menu appeared with about 65 suggested job responsibilities, like “Mentored junior developers, sharing knowledge and expertise to support their professional growth and development within team.” When I clicked one, a bullet point was added to a “job description” field containing that text. “Click everything,” the recruiter said.

    I read each sentence, confirming that it was an actual part of the job that I completed, then I clicked it to add it to my job description. After I had added about five responsibilities, the recruiter reached over my shoulder to click all of them faster than either of us could read. “According to America, as a software engineer, you did all these things,” he told me. “You’re a rockstar.”
