Lately, I’ve been receiving lots of AI-generated communication, from short LinkedIn messages to long-form emails or blog content. And I get it- AI can write fast, save time, and sound polished. But please:
If you’re sending me something that came from a prompt you typed into an AI tool, just send me the prompt instead.
I’m not particularly interested in an LLM’s interpretation of your intent. I want your intent. I would rather know what you actually asked for, what tone you were looking to hit, and what you were trying to achieve.
If you’re tempted to send me a fancy, well-formatted paragraph, please pass the prompt. I won’t be offended.
