That’s a little hard to quantify in an objective way. 😅 Looking at the emails side-by-side, though, the final version is about 40% shorter by byte count, warmer, and more specific (using information only I know, or didn’t tell ChatGPT). Obviously, I’m biased, but I think the final version is far superior.
Yesterday, I read Neven’s blog post about the suckiness of outsourcing human connection to AI.
After that, I asked ChatGPT to draft a somewhat complex email I’d been wanting to send to a small company.
With that blog post in the back of my mind, I spent a lot of time and effort rewriting and refining it.
I hit send, and… received the response I was hoping for within minutes. On a Saturday afternoon.
Felt good.
How much did the final version owe to its ChatGPT origin?
