You haven’t used it have you? Or maybe not for its strong points.

English is not my native language and ChatGPT will rewrite my texts to contain the same info in half the amount of words and in perfect English. For me, that’s where it shines: “Can you please make this more concise?”

How do you know it isn't distorting what you say?

I received an email written by ChatGPT inquiring about the classes I teach. However, the prompter of the email caused ChatGPT to write the wrong kind of email. He wanted to know about taking my public class as an individual; but the AI wrote an email structured to inquire about a private class for a corporation.

I had to puzzle over this strange email for a bit until I noticed at the bottom he said it was actually written by ChatGPT. This allowed me to blame the AI for misunderstanding his needs, instead of writing him off as a weirdo for wanting me to send him a "quote" for something that doesn't require a quote.

I read a lot of English, my own (and for that matter my non-English colleague's) texts are mostly hard to read, they don't "flow". My native English speaking colleagues are much much better at it. I used to have my American colleague go over my texts, now I don't have to bother her anymore... That is, only for IP and company secrets I may bother her.

No, you should still blame the guy for not checking the email was sane before sending it.
