The advent of AI and the force with which it has ushered into the lives of many commoners is astounding. Just in the past two years or so, the prominence of advanced technology and the proliferation of its importance across different streams, disciplines, and industries are unmissable.
Is AI The Future?
Amidst the debate over whether AI will mark the end of the beginning of a lot of jobs in many sectors around the world. There is another perspective, that lends positive thoughts to AI.
One such voice, encouraged the use of generative AI at work. Roni Rahman, a Tech Content Creator and founder of Cyberman AI advocated AI and shared a post on LinkedIn. In the post, he said, I don't understand why people don't use ChatGPT for job searches. ChatGPT can 10X your interview chances. Copy and paste these ChatGPT prompts to land your dream job in 2024"
The original post even carried tips to those looking to land their dream job. The enlisted points were as follows, 1. Company Research, 2. Resume Optimization, 3. Cover Letter Writing, 4. Interview Preparation, 5. Common Interview Questions, 6. Behavioural Interview Questions, 7. Follow-Up After Interview, 8. Technical Skills Assessment, 9. Salary Negotiation Strategies and 10. Networking and Referrals.
Chatbots Don't Help
However, one LinkedIn user, reacting to the post refuted these claims.
The user said, "I couldn't disagree more. Generative AI, as a friend once said, is a very impressive way to be unimpressive."
Further, scrutinizing the flaws of the method, he added, "Tools like chatGPT can certainly make any of these tasks *faster*, but they're unlikely to make the result *better* (unless you're a truly terrible writer). I challenge anyone to ask a chatbot to write a letter and then compare that letter to one you've written yourself. I doubt you'd prefer the one generated by chatGPT."
"If the thinking is that using chatGPT enables you to massively increase the number of attempts you make, that's a fair assessment. But unless you're looking for mass-market jobs that need large numbers of warm bodies, just taking more shots isn't likely to improve the outcome. Sometimes quality outweighs quantity", he added.

Another user added, "Ultimately, in an interview, it is your brain and its ability to think quickly and respond effectively that will determine your success."
"While I encourage the use of technology and tools to enhance presentations, I strongly urge everyone to focus on developing essential professional skills, such as drafting resumes and emails. Over-reliance on tools can limit critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, which isn’t a healthy habit in the long run."
One user said, "While I can see how one would think it would be helpful, being on the receiving end of this, I can say I have read dozens of response to application questions that are the EXACT same thing. It may show you are tech savvy and resourceful but also shows a lack of thinking for yourself.
