    This is even bleeding over into professional email. I’ve noticed that if I send more than a few paragraphs, the recipient won’t actually read any of it.

    I’ve taken to highlighting the important things, so they’ll at least feel like they can reliably skim.

      I’ve noticed that if I send more than a few paragraphs, the recipient won’t actually read any of it.

      I was reading an article about how some people were using LLMs to generate longer emails with more fluff to make it look like they were putting more work into their emails, and how other people were having LLMs summarize emails that had been sent to them to cut out excessive fluff because it was wasting their time.

      One can but imagine what the end game of all this is.
