I remember watching this really funny video where a writer, by trade, was talking about recent AI products they were exploring.

They saw a "Make longer" button which took some text and made it longer by fluffing it out. He was saying that it was the antithesis of his entire career.

As a high schooler who really didn't care, I would've loved it, though.

I've heard one CEO been asked about gen-ai tools to be used in the company. The answer was vague, like they are evaluating the tooling. However one good example was made: chatgpt is really good in writing mails, and in summarizing text as well.

He said they don't want to have situation when sender is using chatgpt to write a fancy mail and recipient is using chatgpt to read it. However I think that it is the direction where we are going right now.

Yeah it’s good for the kinds of emails that people don’t really read or, at best, just skim over

If people would just stop loading those emails up with bullshit then we wouldn't have any reason to put AI on either end of the transaction.

This sort of thing is already being rolled out for emails and even pull requests in some large companies.
