| two years after ChatGPT was released. Anyone who has been half
| paying attention to "AI" wouldn't be impressed any more with a
| formal, professionally written email from anybody. Saying that as
| someone whose performance review had evidence of being "enhanced"
| with ChatGPT but didn't find it surprising.
|
| Well, what's more weird is the setup itself. Do bosses expect to
| read this kind of super formal email from their direct reports?
| Do people actually write first versions of emails like that?
| Something is off here. At least I don't think it ever occurred to
| me that I need to "rewrite an email to my boss using a
| professional tone" to my direct boss.
