i have been known to send emails like
hello jeff,
yes.
best regards,
grass company title, etc.
Try ChatGPT. Expand on the answer. Expand on the answer. Expand on the answer. Simply the answer. Simplify the answer. Simplify the answer.
Congratulations, you are an alchemist because what you started with is clearly not what you ended up with - It must be transmution.
So it’s an idiot modem.
If people would be happy with bullet points we could just send them.
But you need to have a bunch of fluff or people assume you’re being uncooperative.
Sometimes it’s frustrating not being able to answer a yes or no question with just yes or no
I have never met that kind of person that won’t accept a short answer that actually answers a question.
What I have seen plenty of is people that are completely sure nobody else will accept short answers. They specifically will always accept it, of course, but nobody else.
I shit you not, I heard both of these mentioned as potential AI uses on one introductory AI training at work.
Not back to back so unfortunately it wasn’t a joke.
Why even have a human at that point? We shouldn’t even have conversations with each other anymore. Let’s just hold up our phones and let them do the talking.

I’ve told this story before, about our last fax server.
Work -> PDF -> send fax -> receive fax -> PDF -> work
It’s so sad this happens just because people can’t handle not looking professional 😭
people can’t handle not looking professional 😭
For weeird definitions of ‘professional’, right?
At both my jobs, I talk in points; I write in points; I rewrite their long-winded shit “just to be sure we’re clear,” in points.
It’s not god’s work I’m doing, but it preserves my sanity when it’s distilled down to facts and goals like my technical writing prof recommended so many years ago. \shrug
Ftfy:
I:
- talk
- write
- rewrite
in points.
I absolutely despise what I call “Bookkeeping” otherwise known as writing stuff for the sake of having more words
And both single bullet point messages are completely opposite to each other!
Sounds like running an email through translationparty.com
Social Media: I can drive user numbers by using AI to generate interactions and interest
Social Media in 2026: … it’s all AI now
The worst is TikTok man. So many AI bot accounts pumping up Trump. It’s nutts. The algorithm doesn’t even care anymore. You hate Trump and MAGA? You still get that trash on feeds. If I didn’t have a wife, I wouldn’t even have the app.
Do you comment on those videos? Do you engage with them at all? Even stopping and watching for more than a couple seconds will pique the algorithms interest.
I don’t get any Trump on TikTok. Surprisingly the worst for me is LinkedIn. So many straight up retards. And theyre always the quintessential 60 year old sunglasses pfp white man.
Here is an AI summary in bullet point form: /s
- Title: The Impact of Generative AI on Critical Thinking: Self-Reported Reductions in Cognitive Effort and Confidence Effects From a Survey of Knowledge Workers
- The study surveyed 319 knowledge workers to explore how Generative AI (GenAI) impacts their critical thinking practices and the perceived effort involved in these tasks.
- Knowledge workers primarily engage in critical thinking when using GenAI tools to enhance work quality, avoid negative outcomes, and develop skills.
- Key barriers to critical thinking include lack of awareness, time pressure, limited motivation, and challenges in improving AI responses in unfamiliar domains.
- Higher confidence in GenAI reduces the perceived effort required for critical thinking tasks, while confidence in their own skills tends to increase perceived effort, especially during evaluation and application of AI outputs.
- Participants reported enacting critical thinking in about 60% of the examples shared, often involving goal and query formation, response inspection, and integration of AI outputs.
- Trust in GenAI can lead to over-reliance, diminishing independent problem-solving and critical engagement, particularly in routine tasks.
- The study identified motivators for critical thinking, including the desire for quality work and skill improvement, alongside inhibitors like perceived task importance and job scope.
- Knowledge workers often conflated reduced effort with reduced critical thinking when satisfied with AI-generated responses, indicating a potential risk of complacency.
- The findings suggest that GenAI tools should be designed to support critical thinking by addressing awareness, motivation, and ability barriers among users.
- The implications highlight the need for feedback mechanisms in GenAI tools to help users calibrate their trust and confidence, ensuring a balanced relationship between AI assistance and independent critical thinking.
Thanks for saying that the above is AI generated.
- Therefore I haven’t read it.
It appears that’s the joke.
