Just changed my mind about using AI for writing cover letters

I always thought AI written cover letters were garbage. Then my friend showed me one she got a call back for at a marketing firm in Austin. She spent 20 minutes editing the AI draft to add specific numbers from her own job history. I tried it last week for a project manager role and got 2 interview requests out of 5 applications. The trick is you have to treat the AI output as a rough draft, not the final version. Anyone else have luck with this approach or is it still cheating in your book?

Ngl it's like people who won't use a level and just eyeball everything.

But what's the actual difference when you're just hanging drywall in a closet that nobody's ever gonna see? I've seen guys with a level spend ten minutes on a single stud when a quick eyeball and a shim could've fixed it in two. Is the principle really worth the extra time for something that'll be covered up anyway?
