AI is an initialism since you don't pronounce AI. NASA would be an acronym because you pronounce the word.

Now this is the kind of pedantry I'm here for

Wait you do not pronounce AI like a Sopranos character that just found an eye ball on the sidewalk?

Since ChatGPT learns from internet users, does that mean the majority of internet users are autistic?

[–] [email protected] 114 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You already know the answer to that one lol

A place known for highly obsessive and weirdly specific knowledge experts? Surely not

As a probably not autistic person, email is one area where warmth is not wanted. Just get to the point, I have a dozen more to get through. And that's precisely why you shouldn't use AI to write email, AI rambles, I want 1-2 sentences, short phrases are fine.

At my job, Email is either:

  • Jira notifications
  • Long ramblings about some project or fire that happened

All other communication is through our chat (zulip, like Slack) or video calls.

I remember dealing with short emails back in the day. But id flip out these days.

Rua must never have worked tech support. I've been accused of being a robot more times than I can count, years before ChatGPT was even a thing.

I just see two autistics attempting to communicate by email.

You really cannot blame them. Especially when Universities partner with OpenAI and cut off all ways to contact advisors aside from text and email right before admissions.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago

Should’ve just said “Ain’t AI. I just dgaf”

It’s work email not a love letter.

If only their next meeting had been on a Tuesday, that would have been the perfect plausibly deniable "fuck you" to end the reply with 😄

It's not Ai. I'm just dead inside.

See you next Friday.
