@tsturm I noticed a few years ago that a contractor was sounding very strange in email conversations. Overy optimistic and extremely explainable for being a supposedly very buzy company. It was a very creepy way of talking for a swedish contractor so we didn't do much business with that company. I didn't realize it at the time but later I knew why I was having such a strange feeling.
Later when looking back at the mails I'm 100% sure it was AI written. Because it said ChatGPT in hidden places.

@eq It's really weird - now that I fully suspect this coworker to use GPT for their answers, I don't want to interact with them and even just responding to these messages feels now like an insult.

@eq @tsturm So far my employer hasn’t been too terrible about requiring generative “AI” for work tasks, but I see so many internal announcements that are very suspect. In particular, I see far too many messages that begin with “[thing] is not an X — it’s a Y”, or a trivial variant of that form, and they’re clearly either gen-“AI” output or people writing like gen-“AI” output because they think that’s how you should write. I cringe inwardly each time I see one.
