I find this very counterintuitive. IMHO longer letters send a worse signal than shorter letters. Shorter is a lot harder than longer, while still a packing a punch. Why are folks using AI to write longer letters?
I have been writing for years about the fact that we are not ready for the destruction of costly signalling mechanisms. Writing used to be a way of measuring effort, ability and diligence. We still have no easy substitute
Now this paper confirms that cover letters have lost their value as predictor

AI providers may want to change their demos: Nobody is using LLMs to plan trips and book flights.
SURPRISE: Many more people use #LLMs for personal purposes than for work-related activities – and that’s even true for those who have jobs. Part of a new report from @ITDFuture at Elon University about how people use & think about LLMs

Will AI replace scientists or create more demand for them? Will it accelerate discovery or bury us in AI-generated noise?
I don’t know. But we need to find out—fast. I started an initiative to explore AI’s impact on science.

To what extent will AI be able to compress this timeline?
Point solutions, like code auto completion, and app solutions, like AlphaFold, may only shrink it in the low teen percent.
True acceleration will require systemic solutions

Many follow scientists for their science, not politics. I wish there was a community norm to label political posts #political. That way users can filter out politics, and scientists can freely express views without fear of losing followers. It's a win win.
