Companies will begin to not rely on cover letters due to the rise of AI usage. Even if they do still use cover letters, the AI detectors are now (finally) going to be applied there.
As a last resort, the employer might require the candidate to write the cover letter in person in the assessment centre with no access to the internet.
Assuming you're not joking, that's just silly. Unless a candidate is desperate, why would they ever accept a "requirement" like that?

That's a verbal interactive activity and it's called the interview isn't it? :)
Sounds to me like they won't be getting many applicants then.
That depends on how much AI-cover-letter-app prices are. If it's expensive enough few people will use it.
