This is one of my bigger issues with generative AI.

It used to be easy to spot effort: a cool logo on a business card, an interesting website design, a recruiter email that speaks to a specific experience I have on my LinkedIn profile. This used to indicate that someone was willing to do a bit more than the bare minimum and gave them some legitimacy.

Now I see any of these things and I have to do the extra work to try to figure out if it was AI generated.
