Surely TFA could ask ChatGPT for a prompt that would generate the email, and then read that?
So.. all those GPU cycles for inverse compression?
I would trade GPU cycles for more time in my day.

#52The author seems unaware or at least uninterested in the fact that writing style can have a dramatic impact on output. It's unclear if they wish to not be emailed "by ChatGPT" or if they wish to not have to sift through unnecessary and flowery pose. I'll spare you the details, but a follow up "That's great. However, please rewrite it in the style of Ernest Hemingway." delivers concise, yet obviously Hemingway-esque e…
It took more work to write the prompt that it would to write the script email.
“Please write a brief email from an employee to a boss giving an update on the api. The email should include 1. The /customers and /address endpoints are complete, but we're still waiting on the architecture team to finish the /orders spec. I'll also be taking Friday off.”
And then you had to adjust it. Just include the information you out into the prompt. If chatgpt can understand it, so can I.
I can’t wait to live in a world where someone enters bullet points into chatgpt to generate an email. Then I have to run the email through chatgpt to transform it back into bullet points.

#53I'm sure the output of this LLM could be improved with some hacking but why bother? Are we really at a point where we're nitpicking about the best way to automate away any kind of interpersonal communication?

For me, it's a matter of decency. If you're sending me an email and you're expecting that I'll read it, you're asking me to invest my time (presumably for your benefit). But, you're unwilling to make the same investment with your time by using a tool to simulate a human connection. Having excessively long, unedited prose adds insult to injury since you've doubled down on the decision to spend someone else's time as l…
I agree entirely. It's the same thing as if someone uses one of those fill-in-the-blanks letter templates. It shows a powerful disrespect for my time.

#55We really just want AI for the purpose of BSing other people.
I would know, I just asked it to write a privacy policy for me …

If we can pick a style, I would like the one of Mark Twain :) Although, I don't know how he would feel about being mimic'ed million-fold.
As a matter of note, the Nietzsche version was hilarious(and concise). Reproduced in part here.
> The /customers and /address endpoints: born, alive, breathing. The /orders endpoint: still trapped in the womb of the architecture team's thoughts.
Re: Please stop sending me emails written by GPT
#57What is going to happen if people start to increase the length of emails and laws (luckily privacy stuff are being reduced in Europe to be more easily understandable by non-lawyers) to the point where it's like a book, imagine people stop to read them at all, and just use LLMs to ask questions directly, which can still marginally give wrong answers. It's like bypassing human limit of time, because now people can read…
sender: writes summarized prompt
llm: emits excessively lengthy and polite prose
smtp: transports lengthy prose
llm: summarizes lentghy prose to bullet points
recipient: reads summary
what a wonderful waste of energy
Re: Please stop sending me emails written by GPT
#58Just use GPT to summarize the email and formulate a response. Probably solved.
Why bother with getting a summary of the email? Just have it write the response for you blind. Fair's fair.

#59Feel like all the people who use proper diction and grammar are gonna be collateral damage in all this.
Feels like everyone is going to take collateral damage one way or another.

#60Can someone please use ChatGPT to design an email filter to move CHatGPT generated emails straight to the Recycle bin?
There is no need to use ChatGPT for that. I suppose running the emails through LanguageTool (or, if you don't care about privacy, Grammarly) and counting the suggestions to fix "too wordy sentences" would be a good approximation.
