I would say a lot of people would like competent assistants to do stuff like "Show me every email that mentions a hard drive order." But not the AI they are trying to foist on us now.
What drives me up a fucking wall these days is how people will use AI to make a more “professional” message, then due to it’s verbosity it needs an AI to summarize on the receiving end.
I can tell when people use AI because it doesn't sound professional. It's not direct enough. It doesn't get to the point and uses a lot of filler.
It sounds like how students think professional sounds.
Well, also some executives that I can't stand that, if I didn't know better, would swear were ChatGPT for decades...
