#102Rather than a GPT-3 generated email, I would rather receive the prompt that the sender would have used to generate the email. We could even come up with a conventional shorthand for this. Imagine you send me a message that just says [[personalized thank you note for the pair of socks you got me for christmas]]. Then I just imagine a long GPT-3 generated message in its place. And I reply with [[gracious acknowledgment…
Are you sure? How about if the prompt is "write me message to tell this stupid fucking guy that he's and idiot and he's wrong", instead of one of these three far more professional phrases that chatGPT came up with: "I understand where you're coming from, but I disagree with your conclusion. Here's why..." "I see your point, but I think there may be another perspective to consider as well." "I appreciate your thoughts…
With all the useless moralizing it throws at you at the slightest hint of anything remotely offensive, I'd argue it's actually (trained to be) quite prudish.

Reminds me very much of this bit from an early Steven Soderberg film, Schizopolis (which I consider to be an underappreciated work of genius): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pct9smNM6u4

I'm old enough to remember when tech folk would tut when someone had a long plaintext signature because it took up bandwidth...
