I use AI a ton for writing emails and other corporate stuff, I have no problems there, it structures and presents them well enough and quickly that it saves me a ton of time.

Where I am conflicted is creative writing -- its something I have been interested in but never pursued...and now I am able to pursue it with AI's help. There is a degree of embarrassment when confiding to folks, that yes a piece was AI assisted... see here by what I mean: https://humancurious.substack.com/p/the-architect-and-the-cr...

Do you feel weird that your coworkers must largely know that you use AI to communicate with them? I'd feel weird doing it, I know that much, so I've never even contemplated using AI for emails/communication.

Do you find yourself learning from how AI structures your bullet points or rewrites messages?

I sort of feel like it would blunt the downsides of AI rewriting everything if it had to explain why it was making all the changes. Being told the rationale would allow users to make better decisions about whether to accept/reject a change, and also help the user avoid making the same writing mistakes in the future.

My manager uses AI when generating docs and emails. I think he does it because English isn't his native language and he goes for the "polished" look.

Frankly, I prefer the grammar errors and the authentic version. The AI polish is always impersonal and reeks of low effort.

I also love how everyone thinks coworkers don't notice the AI touch... of course we do.

I'm in a new budding relationship and we're exchanging letters. There is no way in Earth I touch chatgpt, but if I write well, how believable is it ? Is she ?

I hate this thing, it's so soul-less.

I spend hours a day on emails and I don't get this.

Whatever email I send would just be the prompt, otherwise the LLM is just adding words that don't need to be there without reading my mind.
