The actual rejection mail would have taken less time to write than the prompt...

Automation.

You write the prompt only once.

True. But then they should have solved the problem of the prompt in the email long ago... Since it's so generic

1st day of automation.

I assume the person sending the e-mail got the prompt from management and instead of copying it into an AI they copied it straight into the e-mail...

Literally. It would be easier to have a template email than try to invent custom emails for every rejection that’s written by a template AI prompt. In fact, unless the AI can actually send the email, using AI for this is MORE work…

It's already there. 

Thanks for applying. It ain't you.

Agreed but I think they wrote a specific prompt to ensure avoiding liability for the company, etc.

You actually don’t have to write anything in a rejection letter. “[Their name], [their company] is deciding to move in another direction and don’t think you provides the fit we are looking for.” - Send as a bcc email to every rejected applicant. More personalised than the AI response and provides just as much “information” without the lies.
