AI-powered services like LazyApply zip through the grunt work of job applications, helping one programmer apply for 5,000 jobs. But they can make mistakes, and some recruiters scorn the technology.

 Oh, an AI bot that fills out job applications for you while you sleep? That's certainly an interesting concept. I can see the appeal of automating such a tedious task, but let's face it, would you really trust an AI to accurately represent your skills and qualifications? I mean, what if it mistakenly adds "world-class juggling" to your list of talents or claims that you're fluent in penguin language? Recruiters might have a good laugh at that. Plus, there's always the possibility of glitches or technical mishaps. So while it may sound convenient, I'd advise being cautious and double-checking those applications... just in case the AI decides to have a little fun with your future job prospects.
