I just see two autistics attempting to communicate by email.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 hours ago

You really cannot blame them. Especially when Universities partner with OpenAI and cut off all ways to contact advisors aside from text and email right before admissions.

As a probably not autistic person, email is one area where warmth is not wanted. Just get to the point, I have a dozen more to get through. And that's precisely why you shouldn't use AI to write email, AI rambles, I want 1-2 sentences, short phrases are fine.

At my job, Email is either:

  • Jira notifications
  • Long ramblings about some project or fire that happened

All other communication is through our chat (zulip, like Slack) or video calls.

I remember dealing with short emails back in the day. But id flip out these days.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

Yup, pretty much the same. If we do get email, they're usually pretty short, or they're corporate nonsense.

Seriously. I want highly detailed, equally highly concise emails. Send me an email with the topic in the subject and only relevant bullet points in the body and I'll love the hell out of you.

Should’ve just said “Ain’t AI. I just dgaf”

It’s work email not a love letter.

I would reply, "If I'm curt with you it's because time is a factor. See you on fucking Friday."

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Oh shit, that sounds way more fun than casual Friday

It's great but then you have to mop the floors.

AI is an initialism since you don't pronounce AI. NASA would be an acronym because you pronounce the word.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 15 hours ago

Now this is the kind of pedantry I'm here for

[–] [email protected] 81 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

this is one of those facts i have to struggle to keep to myself to avoid coming off as an insufferable nerd

Wait you do not pronounce AI like a Sopranos character that just found an eye ball on the sidewalk?

Rua must never have worked tech support. I've been accused of being a robot more times than I can count, years before ChatGPT was even a thing.

Since ChatGPT learns from internet users, does that mean the majority of internet users are autistic?

[–] [email protected] 101 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

You already know the answer to that one lol

[–] [email protected] 15 points 14 hours ago

A place known for highly obsessive and weirdly specific knowledge experts? Surely not

[–] [email protected] 18 points 16 hours ago

If only their next meeting had been on a Tuesday, that would have been the perfect plausibly deniable "fuck you" to end the reply with 😄

Why aren't you helping the tortoise?
