I already think that it's insulting when people accomplish/do/implement/... something and want to inform the others and do that by generating a 1-2 pages long wall of text via LLM that is then copy-pasted into an email......
Like... Can't you just write down the 5 or 10 most important points? Are we not worth the time to do so? Do we have to find the most relevant information ourselves in that text???
I sometimes use LLMs to help me with brevity or clarity. But the input is my own words and the output is almost always edited so that I sound like me because sometimes, while the output is serviceable, it's just... bad and uninspired.
Plus it's like "this doesn't sound professional". Well, fuck you, it sounds how I want to sound.
You should learn how to write better instead of relying on slop.
The best way to learn to write is to write and have someone critique you. That someone can be an AI it doesn't change anything about the process, as long as the initial input is your own best effort and the final result is your own edit based on the feedback you received.
