I get A.I. to rewrite some emails to be "more professional" because I'm not good at corpo speak, then I dial it back 20%. I used to just write emails normally but I got in trouble for that. Now I can remotely trick people into thinking I'm neurotypical. It's the only helpful use case I've found in my life. Ideally I'd be allowed to write emails in the same natural tone I wrote this comment, but we don't live in an ideal world unfortunately

    You're probably fine because you dial it back 20%; you put effort in and make sure what you're trying to communicate gets communicated.

    That's more than I'm getting from some people.

    Yeah by default the A.I. will write some really weird stuff... I remember once I had to write to my ex's lawyers, and it was weirdly aggressive. It reminded me of the script from a Phoenix Wright game, making baseless accusations just to offend them or something, inventing new laws that they were in breach of... I'm like ok let's just delete all that haha no way do I want that read out loud in court. But the rest of it had decent bones, it used the lawyer-y words that I always forget about

    Ha, I had a manager like that. After support relayed a customer ticket to him: "tell the customer he is an idiot! We have a fucking export function for all his data! If he wants a custom bullshit report with is corporate style, he can import it into Excel and do it himself! Tell him that, but in a more professional tone."

    Bestest IT manager ever.
