If you use AI to write me that note, don't expect me to read it

This is as long as the article needed to be.
Could not agree more. If you're going to use a prompt that's a few bullets to write me an email just send me the prompt.
Without some heavy sourcing, I am incredibly hesitant to believe this.
Turing (test) failed; didn't read
Is a card in the mail insulting because I didn't bother to call?
Is a phone call insulting because I didn't offer to take you to dinner?
Is dinner insulting because I didn't get you a gift?
Is my gift insulting because it only cost $30?
Can't please everyone.
An obviously autogenerated ecard
An unsigned card
A robocall
A coupon for dinner instead of actually taking me out
Gifting me an airdrop of your ICO
The value add in that scenario is nearly infinite.
I know that it talks about only 1 and not 3 points, but it seems close enoguh
Many people lack the time or writing skills to produce something elegant by themselves, so for them it's like fake breasts: an upgrade for the less discerning larger part of the target audience, as long as they don't look to closely.
It is still somewhat easy to spot LLM output.
The number of humans who aren't a committee of MBAs and lawyers crafting a memo by consensus that reads like this: "Absolutely! A well-arranged conference can be a delightful experience. Here are some ideas to inspire you:" can be counted on zero fingers.
There is always the risk that what you are reading was indeed written by a committee of MBAs and lawyers crafting a memo by consensus.
My coworkers and I have taken to screenshotting the vapid LLM autoresponses in the tools we use, circling the most appropriate and/or depressingly funny option in red, and sending an image as a message.
Everyone's gotten so tired of low-effort AI generated content now that text which looks vaugely AI generated is now dismissed or looked down on. I've begun purposefully introducing minor spelling / grammar errors into text I write and avoiding LLM smells like using 3 examples in a sentence lol
Does anyone have a guide or other suggestions to help make your text look more human?
On the other side of the table: As long as all the info I need is in there I don’t care. In an interview of all places. Do they want people to spend actual time writing the readme instead of having a person good at time management generate and review it?’
For discernment perhaps? Humans have an authentic connection to the real world.
This could be a future version of the "block" button.
Regular "block" button hides everything that the person wrote.
The new, AI-powered "block" button hides everything that the person wrote, but also makes the AI write a response, so that the person never finds out that he or she was blocked.
So at the end, 99% of social networks will be bots talking to bots, but you will still be able to talk to your friends and ignore all of that.
That is, this is what you will think, of course.
Hey now, nothing wrong with a Stouffer's, especially for a potluck. Everyone else at the potluck is doing the same thing anyway.
Oh come off it! You seriously expect me to manually write out some formulaic letter, complete with all the required phatic flourishes, just to respect your time? Use a damn AI to summarize it. I'd you're actually plowing though that slop yourself, you have only yourself to blame.
Why do you think that person reading your letter requires those phatic flourishes? Culturally I believe they serve as a form of proof-of-work: The effort is the point.
Written by an LLM, it becomes truluy valueless slop. Just don't generate the slop in the first place.
> I'd you're actually plowing though that slop yourself, you have only yourself to blame.
What a way to react to someone sincerely reading what you wrote them.
The idea that someone should waste their time to "prove their work" to you is absurd. If I knew someone did, I would deliberately go out of my way to bury information in excessive AI slop for them.
