If you’re just wondering how students knew that the email was written using ChatGPT, the last line of the email weirdly reads “Paraphrase from OpenAI's ChatGPT AI language model, personal communication, February 15, 2023”.

That's the only thing they did wrong. Why mention you used ChatGPT? It's like emails that end with "sent from my iPhone" like who cares what technology you used to send an email?

This is the mind boggling part. What were they thinking? Was this copy pasta from OpenAI and didn't proof read it?

With “sent from my iPhone” it’s an excuse for brevity and/or typos. Consider that the iPhone’s keyboard was a downgrade from the Blackberry that was previously standard among business users. The automatically-appended disclaimer saves the sender a bit of stress.
Personally I think it was motivated by trying to create a marketed feeling of exclusivity , drive a stake between Those With and Those Without, and alienate those without into buying an iProduct and joining The Club.

#16They seem to be overstaffed, if it took four people and an AI to write the memo.

#17 - Deans are paid a lot. Our dean make a quarter mil.
- Mass shooting emails should _probably_ have a human touch.
- Heck, any human tragedy email should _probably_ have a human touch.
- Does the university want to pay the Dean to write emails?
- Does the Dean want to write emails?
- What is the Dean doing for a quarter mil a year?
- Probably playing around with ChatGPT?
- For a quarter mil a year, could we not hire a bunch of grads to study GPTs?
No, I am just not sure how I feel about a GPT writing an email for a Dean about a mass shooting.Re: College deans suspended after ChatGPT used to email students about mass shooting

#19I can’t think of a context where I would be upset about receiving a letter written by AI from uni administration/company/government, but I also use tools like CharGPT to help me communicate myself.

that's one take. Personally I think it was motivated by trying to create a marketed feeling of exclusivity , drive a stake between Those With and Those Without, and alienate those without into buying an iProduct and joining The Club.
