Oh another reason for me to dislike telegram. Sigh.

Can’t people just…communicate? Fucking *express yourself* and *use words*. The “have a machine make thoughts for you” is so damn strange to me.

It’s one thing to have an LLM edit a work email and “make it more professional”, it’s another thing entirely to have it reshape messages to friends. It just reeks of dishonesty, laziness, and bad intentions.

I never want people in my life taking this kind of shortcut with me. It’s so damn gross.

@keirFox Oh I have, at work... any time I can tell someone responded to me in Teams using 1 of those 2-3 "suggestions" that sometimes pop up, I have this very visceral annoyed reaction, like - they can't even be bothered to RESPOND WITH THEIR OWN SELF?!?!?!
@kzorrofuego I think it’s really problematic for me because I grew up with MUCKs and email in the 90s — communicating through text in those worlds it was encouraged that you be verbose and descriptive! This collided horribly with the early 2000s SMS-speak — I had a boss who would substitute “2” for “too”/“to” in email because “it was faster and the message still got across” which drove me to madness. Now that generation of people is elated to have a machine expand their thoughts and ideas out for them.
