Diana Romero, Chief Editor at Nature Research (Publishing), shared a post on LinkedIn:
“I know many people do not make New Year resolutions anymore and we’re in January 9, so let’s call this a good practice resolution. Here is my challenge for you:
I propose that from now onwards, if you were using AI to write cover letters, you drop this. There’s many good uses for AI (searches, tidying up files…), please use it for those tasks in order to free up 1 hour and write a cover letter yourself. How many cover letters do you need to write every year? If this is going to be a massive time investment, then create your own template – just don’t let AI do this for you.
I know this view will make me sound unpopular to many people, please let me explain why I think this way. I read hundreds of cover letters per year and AI-driven patterns become quite evident to me, they make the text a bit repetitive. There’s probably a neuroscience rationale for this, when I read the same thing dozens of times, it doesn’t make a strong impact anymore.”
