Lee speeds up the process by using Simplify, a plugin that automatically fills out applications and uploads relevant documents, including resumes and cover letters, automatically.
“So all you have to do is hit send,” he explained.
If the application includes questions about relevant work experience, Lee turns to ChatGPT, a new artificial intelligence chatbot from OpenAI that can generate human-like text in response to a specific prompt.
Lee demonstrated copying and pasting his entire resume into the system, followed by the question he needed to answer.
“Now watch this shit work,” he said as ChatGPT generated the response.
He noted that “the most annoying part of applying for a job is entering the same information over and over again.”

“Now each application shouldn’t take more than a minute,” he concluded.
Lee claimed in the comments that he received seven job callbacks in the first two days after quickly submitting 200 applications.
Hundreds of people shared their thoughts on his strategy, and many praised his use of ChatGPT as a time-saving tool.
‘I love it. We need to use ChatGPT as much as possible while baby boomers are still blind,” one person commented.
‘I did the same. ChatGPT is truly amazing,” gushed another.

“Okay… the ChatGPT part is kind of brilliant,” added another. “I hate answering these essay questions!”
However, not everyone was convinced that Lee’s rapid-fire process was the best way to land a new job.
“It’s all fun and games until they call you and you don’t know which position [you’re] Application,” replied one viewer.
“Customizing the cover letter for each job application still takes time,” pointed out another.
ChatGPT is writing 7th grade essays,” argued another. You will not be hired, brother.’
