I have long joked/theorized that the future of communication is bots writing for bots.
1. Person has brilliant insight
2. Insight is 3 bullet points
3. GPT expands into prose (because that's what people think people want)
4. Reader sees paragraph, thinks "Bah that's long"
5. Reader uses GPT to extract the 3 core bullet points
I think the most important lesson of anyone's first job is that you have to stop writing like you're in school. There is no minimum word requirement. Only maximum.

- Swizec 4y agoDo they? Even my high school English teacher said "If you write more than N words, I'm stopping at N". I can't imagine an exec wanting to or having time to read more than a few condensed bullet points. If they have questions, they'll ask.
