Some users have reported success with LLM-generated resumes, while others question the methodology behind the studies.

Well yeah, LLMs generate resumes (and other text) that they judge as superior to alternative plausible texts. Why would that judgement change just because a different instance hasn’t seen it before?

This sentiment is echoed by others who note the potential for bias in LLMs.

Intuitively this feels obvious. Content generated by the model will be shaped by its training, therefore when reading it back it will resonate with that same training and have a positive view as a result.
