If you're adding a few bullet points to your CV, copilot offers to generate whole paragraphs of brazenly made-up shit.

And everyone seems to be fine with that.

Why not generate the entire CV? Including the photo.

We've always had the ability to lie, a CV was an offer in a bargaining process, not a proof. LLMs streamline the worst kinds of human behaviour but they scarcely do anything some poor fucker in India or Brazil wouldn't do for $5/h

@lorentz Up to a point.

For example, if I spent half an hour calling IIS a bitch until it randomly started working again, then I might put on my CV that I spearheaded investigation of a P1 incident impacting our web infrastructure to deliver a hotfix in near real time (actually I wouldn't because I don't want to go to Hell).

But copilot isn't just embellishing stuff, it's casting off the shackles of reality and considering what looks right in that context, even if it's completely unrelated to anything that actually happened.

It's as if Tony Blair launched a career coaching service.

@donkulator right, but you can also say that your workplace which I infer is a Microsoft shop used Qt because you want that damn Qt job, and surely between the 5 different UI frameworks none of which understood what reactivity is, there must've been every idea that Qt is built on (except maybe reactivity), so you can just pick it up between the invite and the interview.

How much you want your CV grounded in truth is dependent only on your strategy which is dependent on your moxy and options. People have always just blatantly lied in applications if they felt that they could get away with it, and everyone always lies if they have no alternative.
