Just wasted $180 on an AI job application bot that couldn't even spell my name right

I saw this ad for this AI tool that was supposed to auto-fill job apps and tailor my resume to each posting. Sounded amazing for someone like me who applies to like 50 jobs a week. Paid $180 for a year subscription thinking it would save me hours. First problem was it kept putting the wrong company names in the cover letters. Like I'd apply to a grocery chain and it would mention retail stuff from some other place. Then I noticed it was mangling my past job titles and dates. I went back and checked like 10 applications it supposedly submitted and only 3 actually went through correctly. The rest had errors or just never submitted at all. I called their support and they basically said it's a beta product and I should expect bugs. Has anyone else tried these AI application bots and actually had them work right?

Did they even test it before charging people real money for it?

Testing is for people who finish their projects before midnight.

Man seriously. So they just shipped it without checking if it actually worked? Thats wild to me. What kind of company launches a product without running basic tests first? I mean even a quick sanity check would catch obvious bugs. How do you explain that to customers when stuff breaks on day one?
