Thanks! I’m glad to see that that’s something that works for you, and I think I understand what you’re using it for more even if it’s not something I would do.

Personally - No way. I don’t want to let generative AI anywhere near anything I write in email.

If I’m writing an email to somebody it’s because I have something to say, and I want to express my own feelings on it.

(I suppose theoretically I could see it I guess if I needed to talk to someone who only used another language?)

But when reading/composing email, I’m not just trying to optimize for raw information throughput- I’m trying to experience my life and the lives of the people who took time to write to me.

If my friend wrote me a letter, I want to enjoy every word of it. Even for something more perfunctory, the nuance of the particulars in the way it is expressed carries a lot of information.

Likewise, I suppose with reading sites like HN comments- I want to see the perspective of the people who are writing, that’s the whole point of reading comments.

It helps me to understand them as people, their use cases, and how they interact with an particular article.

If I didn’t care about any of that, if I didn’t want their perspective, I wouldn’t bother reading the comments…
