, using it for everything from assignment research to planning holidays.Shoshana Davis, a Gen Z career expert and founder of the career consultancy, told CNBC Make It in an interview that the generation have become too reliant on AI tools like ChatGPT to generate cover letters and job application answers.

Davis said that we should definitely "embrace technology and AI" but said copying answers from ChatGPT can hurt your chances of getting a job.of 625 hiring managers found that over half disliked AI-generated resumes and would consider it a red flag that would make them less likely to hire a candidate.One of the reasons why copying ChatGPT's responses is an ineffective way of using AI is that the chatbot does not always provide reliable information.

"They said they got about 100 identical responses of 'my favorite campaign launch was Peloton' and the employer was like 'ultimately that was ChatGPT, but then also equally Peloton was released like four or five years ago'," Davis said. The employer was referring to an ad campaign from Peloton in 2020.
