Overuse of AI can:

• Miss important parts of the job description and sound generic
• Be unclear or misleading without careful editing
• Include false claims about your skills and experience, one of which will be your communication skills

If you need reasonable adjustments due to a disability, you may use AI or other tools to help with your application.
