Last month, Archinect ran an extensive study on the use of AI in cover letters, challenging ourselves to produce cover letters through AI that surpassed humans, and challenging you to spot the differences.
While the experiment was primarily intended to explore the ability of AI to produce cover letters that can compete with humans, it also offered us an opportunity to reflect on the role cover letters play in the modern employment process.

Several readers told us that they detest writing cover letters and that they were cumbersome to read. Others questioned the entire purpose of cover letters, with one asking: “Who reads cover letters anymore? Are they not just for admin staff? The portfolio and relevant project experience is the only thing that counts.”
To further explore the question, we invite you to use the Google Form below for a quick survey, share your thoughts and experiences on whether or not cover letters are valuable and necessary.
Stay tuned for the results in the coming weeks.
