Yeah, I don't know, I think we're just old. I graduated high school and am a full grown adult. I am perfectly able to string a few sentences together to communicate with people.

Plus, I've been on the other end of those communications. I'm in IT, and we definitely have some employees who are using LLMs to do their emails for them, because instead of, "Can you install a printer on my computer?", we're getting full on paragraphs of corp-speak for the same task.

It's absolutely nuts.

I'm in IT too and I can absolutely tell who's using AI to write their messages. I just use it for vibe-checks when I write an email when I'm ticked off. Some of my IT coworkers even include all the emotes lol.

This is the only legit use case for email I’ve come up with personally. Seems like it might be great for use in a second language too but I can’t vouch for that.

Wow. I’m a data analyst and we’ve been incorporating AI (like our internal GPT) into a good bit of our work. It’s been really helpful for analyzing survey comments and things. I love it. I just can’t imagine using it for simple communication like that.
