AI "polishing" tools are essentially a form of anti-compression. Lets take some information represented concisely and needlessly pad it with formalities and waffle so it appears more "professional" (whilst also throwing away useful "metadata" like message tone).
No doubt the recipient will also be using some form of AI summarization that strips away all that added "polish" - making the whole exercise entirely redundant!
It just feels absurd.

- codr7 2y agoYeah, and once that happens, why read anything from them ever agin?

Not entirely, there’s still the energy usage and stock price increases. All because everyone’s too anxious to just talk to each other directly.
- xnorswap 2y agoAI has simultaneously created two industries: One around using AI to pad out documents and another one around summarising with AI. The more the first pads, the more the second is needed. If AI really were Intelligent, I'd fear it's an organism making sure it's needed in the ecosystem.

- echelon_musk 2y agoI haven't laughed this hard in a while. Thanks
- codr7 2y agoMy (evidently mentally disabled) previous manager was so proud of being able to use AI to generate the bullshit he sent out to clients. What the morons are really doing is proving they're useless, let them.
