made it difficult for application reviewers to sort and rank the candidates - all recommendation letters are now similar to each other, and include key catch phrases that reviewers look for. It's really the wild west out there with AI and writing (and other activities).....

AI is affecting every aspect of our work, including writing. In a recent discussion one professor was describing how he uses ChatGPT to draft recommendation letters for medical students applying to residencies. Responding to this, a program director described how this has
