hello i am an silly duck quack quack
I'm not usually the type of person to get heavily invested in servers, mostly due to my age, work schedule, and other interests that usually end up taking precedence in one way or another. However, having graded, proofread, and even done some TA work during my time in college and having witnessed the overwhelming insurgence of AI-written staff application prompts, I feel compelled to make the following offer:
If writing isn't your strong suit or you'd like assistance with the proofreading or structuring aspects of writing an application, please reach out to me (or a staff member themselves as encouraged by Wilkers in this thread) for help. No one will discredit you for not being proficient in writing, but you will ABSOLUTELY get caught and kill your credibility if you take a shortcut in your application. I obviously won't charge anyone, I just want to help.
I've seen a few promising applications made by individuals with a decent amount of playtime and great rapport that have resorted to using AI for their applications. As both a professional writer and a member of this community, I can safely say that it's disheartening not only to see an entire professional sector get boiled down to repetitive sentences and nonsensical buzzwords, but it's equally disheartening seeing applicants who clearly care about the server and want to make a difference not giving the staff team or themselves a fair shot!
Help yourself and the staff team and kill the robots!!
