My guess is these deans too are heavily on the spectrum.
Many times in my life what seemed normal and okay to me, was severely offensive to others. It's a cross I have to bear.
The dean who wrote this message doesn’t care about the students. She doesn’t know them. She’s fulfilling a role where she acts as a figurehead that students can project feelings of compassion onto. Like any other job, this one also involves some degree of drudgery, such as writing emails like this. It’s good that ChatGPT can make her life easier by automating that task. Her actual fault was accidentally admitting to it and ruining her image as a figurehead, which is her actual job. But if you’re looking for a referendum on the dangers of ChatGPT on society or something, this story isn’t 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.
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.
I am not sure what opinion I have on this one. - 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?…
Haha, this is why sometimes people don't really like "five whys" - you can get to an uncomfortable place pretty quickly... Q1. Why was the service down for so long? A1: Because the on-call engineer didn't respond to the pager Q2: Why didn't the on-call engineer respond? A2: Because they're exhausted from being on-call so often since the team was downsized Q3: Why was the team downsized? A3: Because the manager's mana…

If you think the source is bad for whatever reason, could you link some that you think are better?
In case parent comment context is not clear, since it is UK-specific: the Daily Mail has a bit of a reputation in the Uk among some for being low quality and inflammatory.

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?

Public comms are always a charade. In fact I’d go so far as to say I think communication in general is just a game where you try to say the right thing and create the right impression. Expecting “genuine feeling” from other people, much less from a public statement, is a big misunderstanding of how social interaction works.

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”.
