I found out on the last screen of a travel grant application I needed a coverletter.

I pasted in the requirements for the cover letter and what I had put in my application.

I pasted the results in as the cover letter without review.

I got the travel grant.

Who reads cover letters? At most they are skimmed over.

Exactly. But they still need to exist. That's what chat gpt is for. Letters, bullshit emails, applications. The shit that's just tedious.
