It's rude to show AI output to people

I really wish some of my coworkers would stop using LLMs to write me emails or even Teams messages. It does feel extremely rude, to the point I don't even want to read them anymore.

Why? AI is a tool. Are their messages incorrect or something? If not who cares, they’re being efficient and thus more productive.

Please be honest. If it’s slop or they have incorrect information in the message, then my bad, stop reading here. Otherwise…

I really hope people like this with holier than thou attitude get filtered out. Fast.

People who don’t adapt to use new tools are some of the worst people to work around.

"my bad" and what next? The reader just wasted time and focus on reading, it doesn't sound like a fair exchange.

That’s on them, I said what I wanted to.

Most of the time people just like getting triggered that someone sent them a —— in their message and blame AI instead of adopting it into their workflows and moving faster.

That mentality is exactly what is reflected in AI messages: "not my problem I just need to get this over with".

Those types of coworkers tend to be a drain on not just productivity, but entire team morale. Someone who can't take responsibility or in worst cases have any sort of empathy. And tools are a force multiplier. It amplifies productivity, but that also means it amplifies this anchor behavior as well.

So I'm ESL btw... maybe I should have run my message through AI lol.

I was replying to THAT person, and my message was that IF the person they're dealing with who uses AI happens to be giving them constant slop (not ME!!! not my message) THEN ignore what I have to say in that message THEREAFTER.

So if that person is dealing with others who are giving them slop, and not just being triggered that it reads like GPT..
