Doesn’t that make you as bad though?
I played with ChatGPT and generated a really amusing application ‘version’ which I’ve not used at all but happy to post here if you’d like to see it….
I agree with you here @Hallt64
@Karilil - There are many times when messages are written but disappear if the writer does 2 things at once rather than in 2 stages.
I am informed by @Carla that this issue will at last be resolved sometime…

I always personalize my applications despite the 5 application limit, but I can understand sitters feel pressure to get the application though. I know of some who do the cut and paste then follow up with a more personal note. I think that application limit has sent many into a frenzy especially for highly competitive sits in popular locations.

Actually, just received another invite for a sit for that we had declined less than 2 weeks ago and given reasons then why the sit wasn’t suitable.
This time, we got a generic four word impersonal invite for different dates.
I did reply politely, again stating the sit wasn’t suitable for us and basically, we told you last time. Very frustrating.
