A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Quite the opposite - LinkedIn will let you use AI to generate cover letters and rewrite your CV, but you have to pay LinkedIn for that privilege. They’re not taking a moral position here, but rather protecting their business.
That is not equivalent to the time saving reduction of an AI that does that, and formats it to all the various kinds of non standard application processes and automatically goes through those processes to apply for you.
Also, most (all?) business policies ultimately stem from and reinforce certain ideological and moral positions, but if you are the fish always swimming in the water, you might not realize the water is even there, or could be different.
