This is what ChatGPT's real use case is. I will never write another cover letter.

There are now companies that use AI tools to screen CVs and cover letters.

So you have an LLM generating the letter and another LLM reading it to extract the key points.

What a wonderful time to be alive /s

AI detection models are hot garbage at detecting AI. I'm not bothered.

Please at least proofread it's output. It's painfully obvious when I get cover letters that were not proof-read. I had one cover letter a couple weeks ago with a font change for the main body, and p multiple "AI weirdness" lines.

Of course. If someone is using it blindly, I have no sympathy for them. Everyone who knows anything about data science (almost done with my masters now) screams to not trust it implicitly for a reason.
