If you write either of these 4 emails I hate you. “I was just so surprised by how different the responses were,” Van Koevering said. "Some responses were so bad I couldn’t believe the model would suggest it. And sometimes I just thought, “Wow I should be more careful in my emails.'” Why aren’t you writing your own correspondence, I do not understand.

Fuck that. Emailing coworkers shouldn’t be a formal thing. Just wastes everyone’s time. I wrote my last email today and it was literally just 3 sentences. Hi, tomorrow is my last day, thanks for the good time. Snacks and champagne in the break room at 1pm. My socials if you wanna keep in touch. I could have had the company-mandated AI make it “professional” and unnecessarily long but nah, I’d rather be human.

How about writing your own emails instead of sending slop.

I hate when people use AI for emails. I’d rather just read the prompt they gave to AI so I can read the actual meat of it rather than having to sift through the slop for it.

When prompts to draft work emails and job applications contain language commonly used by women, artificial intelligence chatbots including ChatGPT offer less sophisticated responses compared to office correspondence requested with language associated with men Ok, we know that LLMs work basically as text completion and will adapt the language used in the response to the one used in the prompt. Their findings basically tell us that “language commonly used by women” is found in text content that is “less complex, at a lower grade level, and less formal”. It’s just statistics. To fix this “bias” they would have to artificially create loads of complex and formal text that uses “language commonly used by women” and use it to train LLMs. Not sure what the point of that would be though. If you want complex and formal response just write a complex and format prompt.

I write my own emails just because I can end each sentence with period.

From the headline I expected there to be some minor tells in otherwise similar prompts which the AI picked up to generate different output. But from the example, the prompts are vastly different and the tone of the input is reflected in the tone of the output.
