Look at the volume of gift cards given. It’s the same concept, right?

You care enough to do something, but have other time priorities.

I’d rather get an ai thank you note than nothing. I’d rather get a thoughtful gift than a gift card, but prefer the card over nothing.

I'd rather get nothing, because a thoughtless blob of text being pushed on me is insulting. Nothing, otoh, is just peace and quiet.

I’d much rather get nothing. An AI letter isn’t worth the notification bubble it triggers.
