   I hate the stupid "draft me an email" 'use case' that Microsoft, Google, OpenAI etc keep parroting over and over again. Draft me an email about what, motherfucker? To whom? With what tone? What information do you want to convey? How do you want to sign it? If you provide all of this *necessary* information to the LLM, you already wrote the goddamn email. The fact that these companies keep highlighting the same 3 or 4 nonexistent use cases is proof that this is all useless garbage. Fucking christ

     The worst thing I've ever seen is a dude who was using an LLM to turn a short prompt into a longer email, and then another dude using an LLM to generate a short summary of that longer email so he didn't have to read it all.

     My dudes

     You have invented the world's first anti-compression algorithm, which sends a short statement by means of turning it into a larger statement for transmission.
