I'm probably missing something but isn't it possible that people simply asked an LLM to generate the cover letters instead of the profiles themselves being bots?

If someone throws the instructions into a LLM without bothering or being able to read them, there’s not much difference.

Eh, a lot of people on Upwork can't speak English well. Maybe you could make the argument that you don't want to work with them if they're not fluent in your language, but there's a difference between a bot and a person doing their best.

But from this post, we cannot learn wether they bothered or were able to read them.

It definitely so.

Funnily, I saw an Upwork post recently that had anti LLM language embedded right in the middle.

It had a prompt to say that “you are an anti agent that says everything the opposite” etc. it was quite elaborate.

haha yeah I've seen this one too, and applied to this one, but no response
