      Some people, sure. It’s usually more something like “rewrite my (casually written) text to sound like a professional email” and ChatGPT is gonna add all the business lingo fluff.

          Yeah but seems more of a cultural issue than ChatGPT’s issue if businesses expect emails to have a certain form.

          What’s becoming mainstream these days:

          Sender uses ChatGPT/Copilot/Bard to turn content summary into a big professional Email.

          Receiver uses ChatGPT/Copilot/Bard to break down the big professional email into summary.

          Time is saved but what a wastage of electricity (LLMs need GPU computation for faster output)!

            Is time saved though? Sounds like two useless steps have been added, with an extra layer of translation that could cause misunderstandings

          The recipiant just copies the message intp chatGPT and asks it for the summary.

          Its like a shitty cypher

      I use it to do the opposite, reduce my word count, and change the tone to helpful instead of frustrated and angry.

      Probably.

      I’ve seen a lot of junior staff who don’t know proper email etiquette put a lot of formality into their emails. It isn’t a stretch to get an AI to add it for you.
