Aside from saving time, I'm bad at writing. Especially emails. I often open ChatGPT, paste in the whole email chain, write out the bullets of the points I want to make and ask it to draft a response which frames it well.

I'd prefer to get the bullet points. There's no need to waste time reading autogenerated filler.

Just send those bullet points. Everyone will thank you

My boss does that I am sure

One of their dreadful behaviors, among many

My advice is to stop doing this for the sake of your colleagues

Hopefully you're specifying that your email is written with ChatGPT so other parties can paste it back into ChatGPT and get bullet points back instead of wasting their time reading the slop.

Why not just send the bullet points? Kinder to your audience than sending them AI slop.
