This is exactly why I stopped using LinkedIn for job search. The filters were already broken before they added the AI layer.

Built something to sidestep it: Peregrine. Scrapes job boards directly, runs the AI parts locally on your own hardware. No LinkedIn account needed. Cover letters stay on your machine unless you opt into cloud tier.

Still early (alpha) but functional: https://git.opensourcesolarpunk.com/Circuit-Forge/peregrine

Happy to take bug reports and feedback.
