LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Artificial Intelligence is increasingly seeping into various aspects of our professional and academic lives, including job hunting and college applications. While the temptation to utilize AI tools is significant, users must be cautious as these tools can potentially backfire.
Free AI programs can automatically fill in job applications or craft essays for users. However, recent tests have revealed that AI can sometimes fabricate facts, leading to embarrassing and costly consequences. A recent incident involving the Chicago Sun Times highlighted this issue when an AI bot was used to write an article about the best summer reading for 2025. The article included a list of books, half of which were fictional.
When applying for jobs or college admissions, relying on AI to write essays can be risky. If an AI-generated essay sounds ‘too good,’ prospective employers or admissions officers may suspect that the work wasn’t done by the applicant themselves. Therefore, it’s crucial for individuals using AI in their daily lives to carefully review the content generated by these tools.
