I have had the same experience and agree that it was incredibly frustrating. I am considering moving away from text-based communication in situations where I would be offended if I received a generated response.

> I am considering moving away from text-based communication in situations where I would be offended if I received a generated response. You should be offended in every situation, where you received a generated response mimicking human communication. Much, much more so, when presented as an actual human's response. That's someone stealing your time and cognitive resources, exploiting your humanity and eroding implicit trust. Deeply insulting. I can't think of a single instance where this would be acceptable. Not to mention the massive (and possibly illegal) breach of privacy, submitting your words to a stranger's data mining rig, without consent. What OP described, would be unforgivably disrespectful to me. Like, who thinks that's okay-ish behavior?

  I think what some in this thread are saying is that their companies are actively encouraging employees to sprinkle AI into their workflows, and thus are actively encouraging this behavior. Use of these tools, then, is not deeply insulting or unforgivably disrespectful: It's a mandate from management. If your boss's boss's boss did an all-hands meeting and declared "We must use AI in our workflows and communications because AI is the future!" and then you complained to your boss that your coworkers were using ChatGPT to reply to their E-mails, they are not going to side with you.

    > is not deeply insulting or unforgivably disrespectful: It's a mandate from management. What kind of logic is this? Is your boss deciding what's dignified or respectful for you? This way of interaction sure is still as disrespectful. The blame is just not (all) on your coworkers then. The assessment of "unforgivable disrespectful" doesn't rely on actionability, nor requires naive attribution of an offense.

      Fair enough. It can be both disrespectful and mandated/incentivized by management.

We're weeks or months away from people using AI voices and videos of themselves in these contexts, if they aren't already. In the end, socializing will mean our AI personas interacting while we scroll tiktok on the toilet.
