Glib but the reality is that there are lots of cases where you can use an AI in writing but don’t need to entrust it with the whole job blindly.

I mostly use AIs in writing as a glorified grammar checker that sometimes suggests alternate phrasing. I do the initial writing and send it to an AI for review. If I like the suggestions I may incorporate some. Others I ignore.

The only times I use it to write is when I have something like a status report and I’m having a hard time phrasing things. Then I may write a series of bullet points and send that through an AI to flesh it out. Again, that is just the first stage and I take that and do editing to get what I want.

It’s just a tool, not a creator.




>> have something like a status report and I’m having a hard time phrasing things

I believe the above suggested that this type of email likely doesn't need to be sent. Is anyone really reading the status report? If they read it, what concrete decisions do they make based on it. We all get in this trap of doing what people ask of us but it often isn't what shareholders and customers really care about.


Considering that I do get questions and comments about the projects, yet, people are reading this.
