I always wonder, if I'm like experiencing extreme privilege or something, in that I'm able to write words to express what I want to say.
Like, I don't know, I've got a colleague who's probably got dyslexia and also sometimes struggles with how to word things in English. I can understand that he finds it useful for that.
But personally, I always think that if I would've wanted it to be written differently, I would've written it differently. I do not want a machine to put words into my mouth, because they will inevitably be different from what I wanted to say.
at work we are recommended to put things through AI to sound more ⚡️E X E C U T I V E ⚡️🔥🔥🔥🤙
so you do something like, "Got new images from design" and it'll rephrase to "Aligned on tactical operations with communications dept and successfully launched adoption of new collateral"
It's been eye-opening to see how much "leadership" is just "heavily reword simple things into complicated language to make them sound more impressive"
Oh man, I think I'd turn violent, if I was asked to do that. I need to communicate to convey information, not obfuscate it in absolute wankery.
