speaking is faster than typing. My current process is:

1. Use Google Eloquent or directly into ChatGPT to dictate the email.

2. Then ask AI to polish, simplify, summarize, and I provide my writing style [0].

That gets sent to the user. I am very careful to not allow the AI to write too much.

The alternative is I spend 20+ minutes writing and re-writing the email.

As an aside, using an LLM results in a post that's all black text, except a couple of colorful emojis that jump out:

> Speak with confidence. “I think that I can possibly consider agreeing” . Don’t share weak decisions or opinions. Either agree, or disagree.

When I see those I mentally downgrade the whole text.
