    Cover letters are one of the few things I’ve found AI is decent at producing. I give it my resume, the job description, and tell it to write of a cover letter based on those. The employer will most likely skim it or not read it at all, so it doesn’t need to be super detailed. Of course, make sure to double-check it for hallucinations.

      I’ve been mucking about with a local instance of llama

      1st weekend, i got it ruining. i pointed it at the oxygen not included wiki, and asked it a few questions. A couple of weeks later, I pointed it at my linked in prifile, which needed updated. I told it my new job title and to write a new summary

      About half way down, it had

      <job title> | Oxygen not included aficionado

      🤣

      Drag tried that and the AI told the company to look at drag’s github account.

      Drag’s github account is crap, drag didn’t tell it to do that.
