    Emotion and warmth is unnecessary bloat, I can answer their email with a short sentence so I will.

    lol I also had someone accuse me of pasting AI output into my emails.

    People are now going to have to dumb down their writing not because it’s too difficult to understand, but because it might be confused with GenAI slop.

    My autistic colleague gets to me read her emails before she sends them in case they need “humanising” 😂 This was after a guy said her tone was aggressive and unpleasant (it wasn’t, it just wasn’t fluffed out and he was a big baby).

      Ugh, I so get this. I have three writing styles: too concise, too verbose, and romance novel. I really need a fourth between concise and verbose, but I’m garbage at it for topics more complex than this comment.

    I don’t know man. Most ai is way to overly bubbly and friendly for me. So I’d be suspicious if anyone sends a super warm embellished email instead of getting straight to the point.

      This screenshot is from 2023, if I remember correctly LLMs were not that bubbly at that time.

      Right? And I don’t bold random words. For some reason this one really cheeses me. My eyes glaze over as soon as I see that in an email.

          Lmao I am sure that more millennials and Gen z folks use AI in their emails than I realize but it’s the boomers and Gen x who largely fail to remove the telltale formatting, in my experience.

            Gen X and maybe Boomers were taught to type and write formally and we haven’t forgotten. AI was trained on us.

            Cue the Office Space meme about why I shouldn’t change because he’s wrong.

      Ever since the ai bubble started I realised that data was always human… He just didn’t believed in himself because he never met another autist.

        He wasn’t human. He had flashing lights inside his head; humans don’t have that. He always had emotions, though, but the humans of the 24th century were so intolerant of anything that diverged from their self-professed ideal that they wouldn’t acknowledge them.

        Which is wild because he hung out with engineers all the time and his best friend was an engineer. I’m an engineer with audhd and no joke I’m pretty sure like 90% of the engineers I work with are some form of neurodivergent. I know for a fact for like half of them because they told me.
