A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It seems practical enough for mails that seem uselessly verbose. But eh, then the issue is why do you have to write all the "boring emails" in the first place ? Why are they so boring that you need an AI to write them for you ?

I'm sure soon enough people are going to develop some "get to the point" extension that automatically deletes all the unnecessarily verbose sentences AI writes.

This already exists. So a human feeds 4 bullet points into an LLM which generates a few paragraph email. On the other side an LLM reads the paragraph and generates 4 bullet points. It's like reverse compression.

They’ll write an AI for that.
