I don’t mind Copilot summaries of a giant email thread I was added to.

Especially when the end result is “not my fucking problem”.

Reminds me of a standup comedian’s bit I saw recently where he uses ai to compose emails at work because he wasn’t sounding professional. He would write an email to the software team saying “Hey fuckers! Write more code!” And ai would tell him it’s not executive sounding, would he like it to rewrite the email to sound more executive? Yeah! Then he sends it to the software team, who sees the extremely verbose email and decides to feed it into ai for a summary which reads “Hey fuckers! Write more code!”
