GenAI

Job Application Assistant (WIP)

Why this project?

This is a portfolio project I decided to create upon concluding the Microsoft Azure AI Engineer certification to showcase part of what I learned.

Microsoft regularly updates their courses as new technologies emerge, and the focus of the certification exams shifts accordingly. In the most recent version of the AI-102 exam, which is the one I sat, there’s a heavy emphasis on Generative AI, including Prompt Flow. That’s why I chose to build a Prompt Flow project: It highlights one of the most important takeaways from the course – and it also happens to be genuinely useful.

GenAI and Authentic Writing

Some people fear that if writing no longer takes reality as its point of departure but instead draws from other texts, then AI-generated writing could be seen as equally valid as human writing, perhaps even superior, with no grounds left to claim authenticity as a distinguishing value.

Why would anyone think this in the first place? In literary studies, it is common to speak of intertextuality, and some theoreticians, including T. S. Eliot and Harold Bloom, even suggest that writing is nothing but an interaction with tradition and a recombination of bits and pieces of text.
