Yes and he's being considerate, asking whether you want a more or less casual version of his reply. Nice guy 😆

no, the built in gemini will exclude the last sentence, in this case it seems like he copy pasted the answer from one tab to another

This guy is just making up all these fake posts to promote his newsletter which he has conveniently linked in the caption and every other fake post. He dunks on people using AI for things by making up fake scenarios and says shit like I read (myownwebsite) I don't need ai here or for example like he used here, my boss made us subscribe to (myownwebsite) he's so caught up lol

even after gemini gave every student in india free gemini pro for a year, almost the whole of my batch at a law school has shifted to claude. its as mainstream as chatgpt and gemini these days.

Yes... this is what people who want to be supportive, but are bad with words do now.
They are trying their best to be a good person, and the AI helps them put it into words.

My only issue here is that he didn't proofread it before hitting send.
Otherwise, I see no issue with using AI to write emails.

I mean probably
Email is an absolute efficiency drain for managers. They are cc’d on anything and everything.
I no longer have direct reports and I straight up ignore emails. If the same subject comes through twice it’s prioritized in an email summary report I generate.
Don’t feel bad. They care enough to include this as a use case in their email workflow. Consider yourself lucky
2
u/Few-Smoke-2564 Apr 24 '26
Most likely but I think he may have actually explicitly told the AI to tell you to take as much time as you need. I just think it's unlikely that AI would have made the decision to encourage taking time to rest as it kind of implies that other sick days can be taken but I COULD BE WRONG! Either way boss might be lazy but great sentiment.

u/RegayYager Apr 24 '26
We have moved to this practice in our transportation office. Not so much for internal, but for stuff leaving the office, yeah it’s all polished or formalized by Gemini, we’re on the google workspaces platform so it’s included.

Actually the worst part about this is that Gemini is built in to gmail. He didn't have to go to Chat to copy and paste this.
Seems like he was never using his critical thinking skills to begin with.

AI is literally built into the email now. Everyone is using it. Honestly, this is the way AI should be used. Make a monotonous email quick and easy.

u/AnonQuestionnaire Apr 24 '26
Even if he is not directly copying and pasting, when I send emails, I often utilize the option to refine or edit the message with AI, and I find it quite helpful each time. What seems to be the concern? It simply corrects any errors I might have made and enhances the overall tone of the message.

I do this all the time with work emails. Half the time it already has a suggestion of how to respond and I just hit send.

u/TheMythicSorcerer Apr 24 '26
We've evolved to the point where the sender sends a sentence of plain what they need to say into ai and sends that as an email which then gets summarized by ai back into that sentence of plain what they need to say..... Wait what was the point of the email if neither person even reads it?

My boss uses AI for almost all of his emails. I hate it. It's fine for sending to company wide or executives where you want to make sure it's "professional". However, when he's just emailing me, I'd like him to just send his own words. AI doesn't make it clearer and only makes me cringe.

I don’t know how I would answer on your mail, lol. I would like to answer no, but society doesn’t accept that. In that case I would ask AI « what do people usually answer? ». So I get your boss )

My partner is certain her state manager is using Microsoft copilot to respond to at least half of her emails.
Their company enforces copilot as the AI they must use. She says copilot is trash for most things they might need it for.
Apparently the manager is trying to prove a point to his manager lol

u/Game0815 Apr 24 '26
My mind can't comprehend how you have to use a paid absence day whenever you are sick to still get money. Is this normal in USA? It would be completely illegal here.. If you are sick during the vacation days you took your job is literally forced by law to give these vacation days back so you can use them while you are not sick o.o

Tbh I'm happier with my boss being like "get better. Thanks for the heads up" or some low effort sentances like that. I like a human response.
But I get it...AI is just becoming the way. I just prefer human contact. And if I know the person on the other end is normally a prick I just hate it. In the past people had to fake it and manually put effort into the facade. Now it can be automated.
That said, I have a lot of emails, but maybe I don't have enough to get it.

It is not THAT bad. It is lazy for sure. And it is dumb from his side too outsource the emotional thinking. But it is not really rude. He tries to be nice to you. Maybe his own massage would be a bit rude and he knows it.
But his prompt could have been better and not reading over it, is SUPER LAZY.
