The cover letter is redundant
Why do we ask people to write it?
Right now, I can ask ChatGPT to write me a cover letter for a job, a high school essay about the themes in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and a blog post about air condition units in the style of Haruki Murakami.
And it'll do a decent enough job of all of it.
So if it can do all that, does any of it have meaning or purpose anymore?
Writing is a valuable way to communicate, think, and express oneself, but we need to re-examine why we ask others to do it and remind them why it's still important.
