• Most corporate communications are unnecessarily fluffy to begin with because it makes it look like more work was done. Most of the time I don’t even understand why I’m explaining something and it feels like the only requirement is to have words on a page.

      Sometimes the only requirement IS to have words on a page. Think about a disaster recovery plan, for example. Now, you probably don’t want an LLM to write your disaster recovery plan, but it’s a perfect example of something where the main value is that you wrote it down, and now you can be certified that you have one.

      • I just asked GPT to create a disaster recovery plan for a ransomware attack, and actually the information it gave wasn’t wrong or bad. But it’s also very generic, and it will rarely/never tell you correctly the specifics to your applications or where to click.

          Right. Again, though, I don’t recommend having an LLM do that particular chore for you.

    This is a legitimate use case for LLM, though.

    Not everyone can communicate clearly. Not everyone can summarize well. So the panel on the right is great for the people on the other end, who must read your poorly-communicated thoughts.

    At the same time, some things must look like you put careful thought and time into your words. Hence, the panel on the left.

    And if people on both sides are using the tool to do this, who’s really hurt by that?

      Yes, but there is a real risk here that either the expansion added false details or the summary is wrong, especially the summary.

          It’s not about formality. It is about the introduction of error. Less strict communication is more likely to have such errors introduced.
