How An AI Got Hired Over Its Human User
When marketing manager Lisa Morales couldn’t find the right words, she let AI take the wheel—only to discover her digital ghostwriter landed the job she applied for.
When The Words Wont Come Turn To AI
Lisa, a 29-year-old marketing professional, found herself spending a Sunday afternoon feeding her entire career history to an AI. She provided every detail to the popular language model, from a past role at BuzzFeed to her celebrated TikTok campaign for a craft beer startup. For those looking to get the most out of the tool, many consult guides on using ChatGPT. "I figured if Elon Musk trusts AI, so can I,” she explained. After the AI generated a cover letter, she submitted her application, hoping for a positive outcome but never expecting the algorithm would completely overshadow its human prompter.
A Job Offer With An Unexpected Candidate
Just three days later, an email from the HR department at InnoTech Solutions landed in her inbox. It was a terse message with a shocking twist: “Your cover letter demonstrates exceptional insight into our brand. We’re thrilled to onboard you, ChatGPT.” The hiring manager continued to praise the application's “flawless syntax” and “unmatched enthusiasm.” As for the actual applicant, Lisa was left to draft her own unemployment letter, while her AI creation began a new career with a six-figure salary and unlimited coffee breaks.
