Eh... if this were written in high school it'd be promising. In college, not a bad first draft. In grad school, if this is the result of several revisions then you're definitely not top of the class.

Truly, we have left the era of irony and entered the era of farce.

I think what they're getting at is this is clearly a simple script doing template generation: (1) statement of praise (2) statement of encouragement/thanks (3) a couple emoji. The sentences that are used to populate the templates might be LLM-generated, but these aren't state-of-the-art neural network "AI"s.

Apple Maps currently shows it as Gulf of Mexico, fwiw.

In a better world, this would be front-page news.

Wait, if Arthur wasn't some kind of Anglo-Saxon, what was he? Some kind of Celt? Pict? Cimerrian? Wikipedia just says "Post-Roman Briton" which I don't understand... Was his father really a centurion or something?

From the title "Junior Video Editor" and your description of the salary you proposed it sounds like this is an entry-level job that'll probably go to someone fresh out of school.

It's hard to read too much into it because this might just be a form letter, but it sounds like they genuinely thought you were a good candidate but they were looking for a more junior position. Sometimes this is dictated by their budget available.

Even if this is a form letter, they probably have a letter for the case where the salary was OK but they never want to hear from the candidate again. So you didn't get that letter, at least!

It looks like this was a "near miss". It's discouraging, but keep at it, you can do it.
