Those seeking a job in the federal government will now have to write an essay in support of Donald Trump’s executive orders, according to a memo from the Office of Personnel Management.

Vince Haley, the White House’s head of domestic policy, wrote in the May 29 memorandum that all civil service applicants must answer a series of essays as part of the job recruitment process, including one about how they would “help advance” Trump’s policy priorities.

    I mean that’s just lazy AI use. If you just put in the prompt you’ll get slop back.

    Personally I write the majority of the content myself and feed the AI paragraph by paragraph. Asking it to edit for clarity and use the prompt as a guideline. Typically I instruct it to not increase the text by more than 10%.

    Works well, but honestly at that point it’s just using a slightly better Grammarly

      this is the chapter in Infinite Jest which describes the student who plagiarizes everything but then does so much work to cover it up it’d be quicker just to write it.

        Not really. I am writing the report. Then I simply use a tool to assist review and enhance the final product.

        Wildly different than what you just described.
