Do AI-Written Resumes (CVs) All Sound the Same?

A study of 500 career websites, 270 of which had English professional introductions, found no exact duplicate introductions and no two openings sharing the same first five meaningful words, though 170 of 270 (63.0%) used at least one familiar CV phrase such as "proven track record" or "passionate about." The author argues the useful question is not whether AI touched the CV but whether the final text could only describe the person it represents, and recommends feeding AI specific facts, requesting multiple versions, and ending with a human edit. The post also describes Self, a tool that combines designer-made templates with AI that organizes existing CV content into editable page sections.
