Writing can be improved. If your position requires better writing try to improve it, not replace your lack of skills with an AI. Using a AI is the same as to pay someone else on Fiverr to write the emails for you.

Yep, but its cheaper and easier to use AI. Its just a tool; just like spellcheck is a tool.

  I still don't use spellcheck, and my writing turns out fine. These tools are fine for casual writers. However, people who write as their primary craft should work to improve their craft. AI (and spellcheck) are just crutches.

No. Using AI for this will increase your writing skills as long as you put more than 0 effort into it. He's presumably not doing 1) paste his draft into ChatGPT, 2) paste the ChatGPT output into the text editor, 3) click publish. If your objective is to create a well-written and effective document (rather than having AI autowrite some useless email), you wouldn't just blindly publish the ChatGPT output. You would read through the text that ChatGPT outputs and spend a minute reviewing what it wrote and tweaking it to your liking. Over time, as you read the corrected well-written version of your original poorly-written content, your brain naturally picks up on the differences and learns how to write well. I've experienced this personally with Grammarly. I had very low expectations going in, and I still don't like some of its suggestions, but over time as you see and apply the corrections it suggests, you naturally end up learning and improving your writing skills. It's a great learning tool.

  I do exactly that to improve my grammar (check my history comments, I even mentioned it as a positive use case of ChatGPT). And I agree that it is a good tool if you decide to put some effort on that, but that wasn't my impression from the original comment.
