The potential for deepfakes with this:

And type in:
"brbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrrrrrrr!!!" (Minus the quotes).
Try out the different voices...
I assume this means I am going to die
All my joints are not doing things rn.
One of them left in "[add list of software with which you are familiar]" so we know they used a good old fashioned template, at least
What are the telltale signs?
asking for a friend
I don't know that there are any, which is what makes it difficult
To be fair the bulk of the problem is that there's a viral tiktok claiming that if you qualify for jobs advertised through the Scottish government portal they will sponsor a visa and provide housing and a grant
So we have dozens from all over the world basically just fishing for a visa
Honestly, if someone has the basic skills to use chatGPT to write a half decent job application, proofread it properly to correct any weird AI grammar mistakes or factual errors so you wouldn't notice I'd actually call that a far more useful and relevant demonstration of ability than a traditional CV slapped together from a template.
Plus I've never applied for any job that didn't ask if I'm a citizen with the right to live and work in the UK, so it must be pretty easy to filter out all the people who answered "no"?
In theory, however the root of the problem is that tiktok has told these people that they do

Which I guess is going to be relevant if you're an overseas student, but I just wanted to talk to kids about how tax is cool
ah yeah that has to suck
I am ready to be a German citizen now.

There are services that promise this but they don't perform well. They're only good at detecting texts written by earlier versions.
Another difficulty is distinguishing this from the kind of tortured wording arising from trying to stuff in as many keywords as possible to maximise the chance of getting through automated application sifts
How'd that work? Everyone just wear coats indoors and use electric space heaters to heat individual rooms instead of running the gas to heat whole dwellings?
It's almost as if the entire job application process is fundamentally broken and the increasing amounts of automation occurring on both ends is an inevitable symptom. It's one of those processes that so entrenched now the idea of questioning it is just unthinkable but maybe we should ask ourselves why people are finding such convoluted and sophisticated methods of peacing out of the entire thing.
Typically it's more coherent and flowing when it comes from ChatGPT, but going back to edit a sentence to change the voice but missing removing a few words or a phrase can create a very AI-sounding sentence sometimes.
Almost a month after it was apparent that we would no longer have sweet sweet Russian gas, everyone saw the projected electricity/heating prices, had a collective heart attack and then got to work.
Thankfully we live in a cellar apartment so it is quite insulated and doesn't get too cold. We just didn't run the heat at all and wore sweaters. We live in the warmest part of Germany so it rarely gets below 0°C. We also cut down our hot water usage by 50% which TBH was largely my fault because I take horribly long hot showers. So I just stopped doing that.
At work, we no longer have hot water anywhere and that actually cut down business costs a bunch. A bit annoying, but you really don't actually need hot water in the bathrooms and kitchens. I think collectively all the industries reworked their business plans and work processes to minimize the use of gas and we went from being turbofucked to having avoided a severe energy crisis at the national level.

my gf bought me one of those sling bags for my birthday and i'm fully ready to embrace my inner german
Did some cleaning in the kitchen while getting coffee and breakfast going, probably have a shower, take the dog for a walk, and try to find a place to set up the printer/scanner I bought so I can get around to doing the paperwork that I got it for.
That is, frankly, amazing. Maybe my opinion is colored somewhat by living in Indiana for coming up on fifteen years, but I simply cannot imagine that level of collective action. In that same situation I could see my family all wearing sweaters and setting a kitchen timer for showers, while a neighbor (a specific neighbor I have in mind, the one whose ground-floor windows are all literally curtained with 4x6-foot Trump 2024 flags despite the HOA bylaw against political banners outside election week) would be installing those always-on gas torchiere house lamps, building a gas-powered still in the back yard just to have more stuff to boil, etc.
Knowing that someone nearby will be intentionally and vindictively working to cancel out any action you take to improve matters for the group is a real motivation sapper, this I can tell you.
