Using ChatGPT or other AI tools in your application - this is ok BUT ....
We see many people using AI tools in their application. This can help you to structure your application and use the right language. But beware! - many of these applications get rejected!
Make sure your application is very specific about your own personal motivation, how you will use the experience, and how your background is relevant. The AI generated applications read nicely but are usually too generic - and so we don't see the applications own motivation, needs and experiences - and so the application is rejected.
We suggest that if you do use AI tools in your application to make sure you add your specific motivation and needs in the prompt and make sure your motivation is clear in the final text.
As an example: this is the kind of application that gets rejected!

Lots of lovely words - but no real detail about the applicant. So use the AI tools to write a good application if that helps you - but be specific and be you!
