hagenone argument i hear in favor of ai generated text is »i’m not a writer, this will make it sound better/professional« and i get it. there is a reason i’m not sharing sketches i draw on the internet. they look like shit. but honestly: i’d much, much, much rather read something »imperfect« but that sounds like a human with an actual personality and emotions wrote it than the wall of beige that falls out of chat gpt. my shitty drawings are more interesting than midjourney images. embrace humanity.
»but sometimes my mails are too emotional for a workplace setting« fuck this! be emotional. be mad at somebody. apologize after. have honest interactions with people. be cringe. be everything a chatbot isn’t. i can’t deal with this void of nothing that falls out of chatgpt.
FJ!!@hagen Sorry, but this is elitist. I know people having to sell their house because they haven't been able to be hired in a year.
"Ask forgiveness later" is something
a) white cis-het men get to do, everyone else gets warnings and HR visits
b) once they are already hired, because you don't get to apologize for an imperfect cover letter and CV once it is in the wastebasket.
@fj i would agree that applying for a job is an exception to what i said.
Reemt@hagen if I get a support request by the sister companies CEO in corporate English, I use ChatGPT to draft my response. I’m confident in my English abilities to a certain degree. But corporate lingo and the specifics of replying to a French native speaking English in Hong Kong… I’d rather take all the help available to me.
