Are people really using GPT to turn brief emails into paragraphs of waffle?

Some people, sure. It’s usually more something like “rewrite my (casually written) text to sound like a professional email” and ChatGPT is gonna add all the business lingo fluff.

What a terrible way to waste everyone's time.

What's becoming mainstream these days:

Sender uses ChatGPT/Copilot/Bard to turn content summary into a big professional Email.

Receiver uses ChatGPT/Copilot/Bard to break down the big professional email into summary.

Time is saved but what a wastage of electricity (LLMs need GPU computation for faster output)!

Is time saved though? Sounds like two useless steps have been added, with an extra layer of translation that could cause misunderstandings
