On the Parcoursup platform, cover letters generated by artificial intelligence are becoming a popular tool for nearly 80% of young people aged 16 to 25. However, these documents struggle to satisfy examiners, who are looking for authenticity and personal commitment rather than the formal perfection often offered by automated solutions. As a result, these letters often lack depth, with unconvincing arguments and a language level that is out of step with that of students. Many teachers, observing this phenomenon, note that these AI-generated works are easily identifiable by their lack of human substance and therefore frequently fall short of academic expectations. AI-generated cover letters on Parcoursup: a challenge for examiners<\/strong>With the rise of artificial intelligence, many students now use automated tools to write their cover letters on Parcoursup. According to a recent survey, nearly 80% of young people aged 16 to 25 use these technologies. However, these letters often lack personalization and fail to meet the expectations of reviewers, who prioritize authenticity. Divided into several sections, this article explores the reasons why these letters are easily identifiable and why they are generally considered to be of lower quality.The flaws of AI-generated cover letters<\/strong> Cover letters<\/strong> Letters written by artificial intelligence tools often suffer from several shortcomings. First, they lack authenticity. Quentin Leroux, professor of management, points out that these letters frequently fail the \u00ab\u00a0Turing Test,\u00a0\u00bb a reference to the method used to distinguish human output from automated responses. The letters produced are often soulless, with impersonal arguments and vocabulary inappropriate for the level of the students concerned.<\/p>\n\n

Recognizing a Standardized Style<\/h1>\n\n

Examiners can quickly spot letters generated by AI due to their standardized style. Aline Mousset, professor of economics and management, has often noticed identical and repetitive phrases, such as eulogies to cities where applicants wish to study. This repetitive pattern fails to convince assessors who expect applicants to share a sincere and personal motivation.Examiners\u2019 Perception: Authenticity Desired<\/strong>Despite their ubiquity, AI-generated letters do not meet the criteria required by examiners. They place paramount importance on authenticity and the candidate\u2019s ability to express their true aspirations and motivations. Denis Choimet, president of the Union of Professors of Scientific Preparatory Classes, points out that letters must reflect a personal approach. As a result, digitally produced letters often appear bland and uninspiring.<\/p>\n\n

The growing role of AI and its impact on applications<\/h2>\n\n

The use of AI<\/strong> The use of AI to generate text is constantly increasing. Many students choose this option for its speed and ease. However, this trend raises questions about the impact of technology on student applications. While AI tools can help structure a letter or provide ideas, it\u2019s essential that students incorporate an authentic and personal touch to meet the criteria of platforms like Parcoursup.<\/p>\n\n

Furthermore, institutions are gradually developing methods to identify AI-generated letters, through verification software or individual interviews, to ensure quality selection.<\/h3>\n\n
