Yeah I can understand its use when it genuinely is in a context where presentation matters, but for internal, peer-level comms it feels like the equivalent of your colleague coming into the office and speaking to you with the fake overpoliteness and enthusiasm of a waiter in a restaurant. It's annoying at best and potentially makes them appear vapid and socially distant at best

Of course plenty of people make this mistake without AI, e.g. dressing up bad news in transparent "HR speak"/spin that can just make the audience feel irritated or even insulted

In many cases plain down-to-earth speech is a hell of a lot more appreciated than obvious fluff

But rather than being a negative nancy, perhaps I will trial using ChatGPT to help make my writing more simple and direct to understand
