> I often send out the LLM version, but still check if it contains the original thoughts correctly.

Please don’t do this. You probably aren’t aware of how bad this can land. It’s not just about containing your original thoughts, it’s about the verbosity, repetitiveness, and absurdity of it all.

Grammarly is a much better tool for these kinds of purposes, and it actually guides and teaches you to improve your writing along the way.

The irony that this response has a very common LLMism...

Verbosity and repetitiveness? Which tools are you using?

Tell it that you want a succinct professional email and it will do that. Give it examples of your own writing and it will match that style. If there's something you don't like, tell it to rewrite the part differently.

Theses are literally the things language models are best at.
