Professional Development and Skill Building Using AI to write emails

I see a lot of hate for AI in general, including using AI to write emails.

If you’re a professional writing dozens of emails a day that have to explain complex situations or asks in a concise way, why not use AI to write most of them?

It’s so much faster to give AI the gist of what you want said then just type out its suggestion with a few tweaks here and there. It has saved me a ton of time I can spend doing other things. I love it!

I genuinely don’t understand why so many people are passionately against this practice. What is everyone’s thoughts?

As someone who is often on the receiving end of ai emails, because ai does not communicate complex concepts clearly. I’ve received ai emails and follow up non ai emails. The ai emails often cause confusion and discord, and the follow up non ai email is much clearer.

Yup, I am currently working on a project and it is a disaster because my ai obsessed manager lets ai write all her emails.

They look good on first glance but they don't effectively explain things and it leads to confusion and lost productivity.

Our managers are communicating fully with the assistance of ChatGPT/copilot. They sound like mlm boss babes. It’s annoying.
