- neilv 3y agoYes, and I object even more to people who have "Thanks," as boilerplate email template, as I've seen multiple people do. It means more if you type it. But those are nothing compared to people using LLMs to generate ostensibly handwritten emails. kthxbye

- fodkodrasz 3y agoWhen watching American TV shows it is already disturbing that people don't seems to say goodbye to each other, just walk away. Guess they found it boilerplate-y too? It would be considered immensely rude here, yet American tourists always complain why the cashiers, or whatever service person don't have an ever-fake-smiling face... Thx.
