In the last few months, I've started to see [job applications] that were clearly cowritten by an LLM, link to an LLM-generated portfolio site, which then links to LLM-generated GitHub projects, with purely LLM-generated commit messages. [...]

My other reaction is that I don't know anything about these people.

They haven't put themselves out there. They haven't said anything true. [...]

The perfected, generated, prompted resume is generic and impersonal. It tells me nothing about this person, other than that they use particular tools.
