My default is that I won't copy and paste anything that's AI generated in communications. I kind of think that's the line. Use whatever you want in the background, but I want to communicate with the synthesis of your thoughts.

I think this is a reasonable standard to hold, otherwise, like many before have said...send me the prompt. It's actually more interesting/better I know a coworker is struggling to communicate about something.

I follow the same strategy, but loosely - I need those emdashes to signal that I’m using the tools.

That’s my latest joke — that we’ll have to pretend like we used the tools so they can feel validated they’ve spent all this money on hyped up technology. So, yes, it’s em-dashes and “it’s not just this, it’s that …” so they can hopefully leave us alone.

		I remember feeling embarrassed one time that I used a very early GPT thing to help organize perf reviews for employees from the various bullet points I had written for each (I had a lot of direct reports). But in current world, I assume I’d be praised for doing so.

My typical practice is to write a reply using my own brain and whatever practices are called for, then attach any interesting chatbot responses that were generated as documents.

So there's a clear separation, a reply from me which I stand by and then some interesting chatbot stuff if you're into that.

I mean, i struggle with spelling/wording and ask the LLM to proofread a lot.

I often send out the LLM version, but still check if it contains the original thoughts correctly.

It's not a bad way to extend your vocabulary & catch spelling mistakes

You don't need a fake extended vocabulary. Just communicate directly and honestly. Underlining spelling errors as you type has been a standard feature of email software for nearly three decades.

Please don’t do this. You probably aren’t aware of how bad this can land. It’s not just about containing your original thoughts, it’s about the verbosity, repetitiveness, and absurdity of it all.

Grammarly is a much better tool for these kinds of purposes, and it actually guides and teaches you to improve your writing along the way.

Grammarly the honeypot?

You seem to be referring to something specific I’m not aware of, could you elaborate?

A Google search didn’t reveal anything specific other than them using famous author names for expert review.

		It's the nature of the product itself. It's a key logger software. That's literally what it does -- take every input on your computer and route it to their servers.
