Nope, I would prefer getting the prompt.
I would also prefer anyone sending me the AI output and not either their ideas or their prompt, to not contant me ever again.
If I wanted the output of the AI, I'd ask it myself. You're just a useless intermediary if you send it to me.
- conradludgate 5mo agoThis might apply to the AI integrations in Gmail, but someone's own agent setup might have more references saved privately than yours. You can't ask your AI to search through my personal notes.
- 8n4vidtmkvmk 5mo agoI was going to say... Sometimes I load up my context with a ton of data. The output is shorter than the input.
- coldtea 5mo agoThe people that send that crap are the guys who one-off it, not the guys who have a carefully crafted context, skills, and local references on top of the prompt.
- emodendroket 5mo agoMaybe you personally do; most people would react more poorly to "find a polite way to tell this guy to fuck off" than the output of that prompt.
- coldtea 5mo agoThat's the most contrived counter-argument... We've been writing business emails for 40+ years. Anyone with -2 stddev IQ and above would know to tweak a 10-word prompt to a more polite version before sending it
- emodendroket 5mo agoIt's an extreme expression but "soften this message" is a common goal.
- floxy 5mo agoI've been going back and forth on this, and I think I agree with you about 95%. But for some cases, where I don't really have a choice about whether or not I'm going to hear from you, there are certain dullards that I'd rather have filtered through a chat bot. It really would be an improvement over whatever they had to say. Listening to their genuine human output has negative value, but filtered through an LLM might bring that value up to zero.
