Except I have never met anyone that likes fluffed up emails, nor considers them better in any way than your 4 points. Take that from a long-email writer (people beg me for a few bullets, somehow I always feel that it does not accurately convey my message, I am aware that this is a shortcoming) ;)
We had a town hall type of thing recently with some of our investors, and some of the answers they gave were hilarious, if it weren't so depressing that those people are the ones with most of the money in this world.
The worst was the answer to the question "How can we utilize AI to greater effect in our work?". A nice open-ended question where they had a beautiful opportunity to show off how knowledgeable and forward thinking they are, right? Especially considering they're the ones behind the massive AI push our product has gone with as of late.
"You can ask it to write emails for you!" Was the one and only thing these multi-milli/billionaires could come up with. Our core product itself is literally an email interface, and we have an AI email generation feature built in...
I had to turn my webcam off because I genuinely laughed out loud at that response for how insanely elementary and useless it was as an answer. It also showed me these people do literally nothing other than answer emails - and even then they're too bloody lazy and give so little of a shit they can't even do that part themselves.
Well of course. But well thought out and well written communication (which admittedly is rare) is an opportunity to actually think through what you’re telling people. How does point A relate to point B? As you read through what you’ve written do you realize there should be a point A.1 to bridge a gap?
It’s like math homework, you always had to show your working not just give the answer. AI gives us an answer without the journey of arriving at one, which removes the purpose of doing it in the first place.
I wish to communicate four points of information to you. I’ll ask ChatGPT to fluff those up into multiple paragraphs of text for me to email.
You will receive that email, recognize its length and immediately copy and paste it into ChatGPT, asking it to summarize the points provided.
Somewhere off in the distance a lake evaporates.
