How often do you use "AI" to reply to your messages, if at all? (feddit.de)

The recent chat bot advances have pretty much changed my life. I used to get anxiety by receiving mails and IMs, sometimes even from friends. I lost friendships over not replying. My main issue being that I am sometimes get completely stuck in a loop of how to formulate things in the best way to the point of just abandoning the contact. I went to therapy for that and it helped. But the LLM advancements of the recent years have been a game changer.

Now I plop everything into ChatGPT, cleaning out personal information as much as possible, and let the machine write. Often I'll make some adjustments but just having a starting point has changed my life.

So, my answer, I use it all the fucking time.

Very similar experience for me, I used to procrastinate a lot. I still do, but now it's less about not knowing how to approach the message.

I'd say I use it about 30% of the time, usually when the message or email is important or I want to make sure it won't be misinterpreted

Initially I used it a lot more, but after a while I got more confident that I could just do it myself. Often it would just say the same thing I said, but reworded in a more complicated way

Your last paragraph is interesting! I can feel similar effects actually. I feel more and more confident in the way I would reply. Most of the times I know what and how to write, seeing that validated helps.

And ChatGPT has definitely a tendency for complicated wording.

Add the instruction "use simple terms" to your prompts, should improve your results in that scenario.
