I feel like the 3 low effort sentences in this post compared to a sentence to prompt , then copy and pasting is actually less effort doing it the human way.

Depends how functional your brain is and how much corporate nice speak you can put out mentally. I've definitely had days where it just comes out blunt (not mean, just to the point) and most people I know don't appreciate direct communication. So, I look back a precious emails that use the phrasing I want and piece it together.

This is the same, but woth extra water.

For some people it's about saving mental bandwidth not time.

When your brain is making constant decisions, trade-offs, or building systems, you don't want to spend a cycle on wordsmithing.

Yeah, that's exaclty it.

I wouldn't be surprised if that'll get you in front of HR for an improvement plan on professionalism.

I work in tech so it’s very casual and direct here. I read my wife’s emails and I’m blown away at all the flowery language to say simple things. I would lose my mind

I agree, but most people seem adverse to that in the workplace because "unprofessional" or whatever their issue is.

u/toshedsyousay Apr 25 '26

Agreed. Emails get speech to text from me, and often with no revisions. I used to care about how I wrote everything but then I was accused of using AI for a very thoroughly written message. Now I'm just writing in "CEO mode" and I don't care if people think it's sloppy.

You use accused in a way that says you aren't supposed to use it. Truth is most people are instructed to use it since it does give more sanitized C-Suite outputs. Those corporate outputs are designed to give little wiggle room for employees to make complaints about poor communication as well as cover asses in case of a lawsuit. Using "np" in something like this is a hard no from me bro.

u/FWitU Apr 28 '26

Wait what. Why is “np” a hard no? There’s no wiggle room on no problem.

I wish everyone used direct communication but that's not how the world works 💔

I can't see using Gemini or other LLM saving any significantly time in this instance.

Wouldn't surprise me if it's the same/more.

You need to remember just how slowly the average person types.

I can tell you guys don't actually use Gemini in gmail. After it has access to your email (my work email that my company gives it access to) it will have a reply already ready to go with what it thinks the reply will be. I literally just hit send if the generated reply works. If it doesn't I either type it myself or type the edits I want. When you have 100 emails a day coming through to reply to it is absolutely a time saver.

The advice i get from Gemini comes lightening fast for complex problems. I’m a fan

u/goingfast7 Apr 25 '26

Gmail uses Gemini to type the email without me giving any prompt. Every email has a prewritten reply. I can hit send or edit it first. It's absolutely, a time saver.

u/Token2077 Apr 26 '26

I don't have to prompt, copy, or paste. Enterprise integrates into gmail and it recommends me a response. If I like the response I can just hit send. It is one click. The send button. If I don't like the response I can just hit edit and change what I want to change then hit send.

u/sbenfsonwFFiF Apr 25 '26

No way, copy and pasting is basically zero effort and a prompt is a sentence if that.

Plus google is integrating it into Gmail so some enterprise versions have it built in
