> The gross disrespect of auto-generating this kind of email isn’t lost on me It's lost on me. If an important email could be sent out earlier thanks to tools that help in automation - then why not? Shall we go back to a time when carrier pigeons delivered handwritten notes? Do you share similar outrage for the word processor and the internet?

Probably why you would hate it if someone broke up with you over auto-generated SMS message, or if your partner used ChatGPT to write you a love letter, or a wedding speech? It's impersonal ?

  The person is still making the decision to do those things, which is really the important part. And lets be honest, most people probably used Google for love letter or wedding speech ideas before. ChatGPT is just next step. Also, when does it become personal? Is it a time thing? If the person went back and forth with ChatGPT crafting the text for an hour, is that long enough to claim personal?

    Actually, the important part is appearance, not what happened. The fact that they used ChatGPT and announced it is the bad thing, because it makes it look even more trivial and unimportant to most people, regardless of the motivation behind it. When does it become personal? When does a dosage of a toxin become toxic? It's a matter of degree, and using ChatGPT decreases the degree enough so that the probability of someone finding it in impersonal increases significantly. I know a lot of engineers and science-minded types will see past it and not think it a big deal, but an averave person will see it very differently, and maybe that is made even more offensive because the average person does not even understand what ChatGPT is and sees it as a toy chat bot.

No but I love the chalky feeling of pigeon shit on my hands as my fingers pry open missives from the front of our cultural revolution. Oh hell, this one has a "return reply requested"...damn, where is that f**ing bird!
