You need to get a lawyer to write them a letter, and to prepare a sworn affidavit. I'm serious. Maybe you could go together and share the cost. A plagiarism accusation could affect you for decades. This reminds me of the very first identity theft victims. NO ONE believed them, it took months to straighten out, some lost $10,000 in the process, and some still had it following them around for years. Now, most cases are no big deal, and almost no one loses any serious money -- a regular burglary or pickpocket is worse. Well, welcome to accusations of plagiarism because of AI. You are first. :/

@NathanSimonGottemer I know it's ridiculous, but plagiarism is something you cannot leave on your record. I understand why people just let it go. DON'T. You'd be surprised what two little pieces of paper can do -- a short letter, and affidavit where you swear you did not use AI or cheat in any way -- stated in legalese. Boom. The sorry episode, OVER.

@NathanSimonGottemer Yes . . . full agreement with everything you said -- and I completely understand why people don't want to bother. The problem is, it is assumed that cheating is rampant, and so, if you happened to be "the one who was caught," it is further assumed that you did something Really Bad. You don't usually get a chance to go back and fix it. You really need to deal with it before you leave high school. You can also approach it nicely, and after showing muscle, you can say, "I appreciate that you didn't know how error-prone this algorithm is. We're all learning," or something diplomatic like that. When they push you down, come out on top.

@Lord_Lvcif3r Often true, and not that funny.

@YoungDirtyMexicanOfficially Copy artfully from the job post and desired qualifications, but don't just cut and paste -- think it through. At least that part is easy. And feel free to apply repeatedly with new resumes, unless they instruct you not to do that within a certain time frame. So, read those directions carefully. Most companies accept resume updates as long as they contain improved content relevant to their needs. Remember, they need you, too.

@justanoman6497 If you get a job, you are displacing someone who may be better qualified. Do you think the best qualified person gets the job? Can you be serious? If you know you deserve an interview, GET ONE. There's some guilt to be had here? Yeah -- only if you aren't sure you have earned an interview and you push for one anyway, OR if you know you deserve one but you don't do everything you can to get one. That's diffident. Virtuous unemployment isn't a thing. Your guilt mentality is poison to the young and naive. They might take it to heart, and then what?? For my first jobs in life, we applied in person. We talked to someone every step of the way. WOW has the quality of life declined. And then you pop up, afraid someone might attain something, so you slap them down.

@justanoman6497 I don't agree that it indicates dishonesty or resume inflation. You should do whatever you can, prudently, to get to the interview. You are not inconveniencing people, but trying to get past a robot. If you are not absolutely sure that you deserve an interview, with a person, don't apply at all. If you are sure, then go for it -- do whatever is effective to get the interview. Don't you say what you need to say to get past the robot and to the human when calling customer service? How is this different? Being insistent about talking to a human is a good sign.

@angrydoggy9170 Is this still possible? Because if it is possible to show up and talk your way in, I agree that's best.

@ClockFink This sounds like the reality.

@justanoman6497 You know what? I'm going to repeat what I said, which you "responded" to: "I don't agree that it indicates dishonesty or resume inflation. You should do whatever you can, prudently, to get to the interview. You are not inconveniencing people, but trying to get past a robot. If you are not absolutely sure that you deserve an interview, with a person, don't apply at all. If you are sure, then go for it -- do whatever is effective to get the interview. Don't you say what you need to say to get past the robot and to the human when calling customer service? How is this different? Being insistent about talking to a human is a good sign." You tried the guilt trip/narcissist routine because I made an excellent point and you didn't like that -- shows how YOU treat merit, in the wild, so to speak. I would not want to work for you. You have a puritanically punitive mind. The worst! I hope the job applicants see through YOU and move on. Next time you experience quiet quitting (a no call, no show), remember this exchange.

@justanoman6497 If you yourself have no need of a job, I don't know why you apply for the kinds of jobs where a bot screens your resume. Don't you write to those whose work you admire, and very politely ask for an informational interview? That's what classy people do -- you know, the group you claim to be a part of. I suggested nothing unfair, not even marginally so, and I think you are an equivocating little ** who has the delusion that you are morally superior to others, and I don't doubt for a minute that it is pure pose. (I knew that before you claimed you have the wherewithal not to need a job.) I have not only not victimized anyone, but I happened to be a civil rights lawyer, with experience in employment law, who has prevented immense injustice from getting the upper hand. I also know that every time I've fallen for the Moral Pose, I have ended up being treated extremely unfairly -- and that brought harm not just to me, but to others I care about, including my family. The Moral Pose is just a one-up-and-over strategy; it's not your principle (spelled -ple; "principal" means something else), it's your brand. Funny, just today I reread James Baldwin's famous essay, Nothing Personal. The irony is no doubt lost . . .

@justanoman6497 I know what you said, LOL. "Mental Health?" That's your new strategy? See Janet Malcolm on the Freud archives . . . 🤣🤣🤣 Moreover, you're the one who's down on people, planting stupid ideas in their heads to stymie them. Just shut up. Blocked. See, boys and girls. This is who you may be up against in the job market. Forewarned is forearmed.
