Wonder if something similar could be developed for prose.

writing trash white on white between the line?

Shit you not, in my previous job I heard this was happening (via a colleague who uses TikTok) and in the next recruitment run I checked some of the documents loaded up in applications, to see if anyone had snuck white font text in.

Of 30 applications, 3 had. Using words that could be found in our job descriptions. Just tucked away in between paragraphs and in page breaks.

We don't use AI in our recruitment so it may as well not have been there but, interesting to spot once you start to look for it. We knew people were using AI to write cover letters, and it was fairly obvious when the letter was a little too immaculate and had absolutely zero personality. White font though, that was a new one.

lol, ive been hearing about this since at least 2015ish as way to “beat” Taleo and other application/recruiting platforms. of course, with it being 2024, “AI” must be added in some way.

it seems hard to mess with text, even just a little bit, while keeping all the charm.
