“Oh, I’m not a sapiosexual myself, but I am a know-it-ally.”

Right. Again, though, I don’t recommend having an LLM do that particular chore for you.

I don’t disagree, but most business emails aren’t quite that strict.

Sometimes the only requirement IS to have words on a page. Think about a disaster recovery plan, for example. Now, you probably don’t want an LLM to write your disaster recovery plan, but it’s a perfect example of something where the main value is that you wrote it down, and now you can be certified that you have one.

This is a legitimate use case for LLM, though.

Not everyone can communicate clearly. Not everyone can summarize well. So the panel on the right is great for the people on the other end, who must read your poorly-communicated thoughts.

At the same time, some things must look like you put careful thought and time into your words. Hence, the panel on the left.

And if people on both sides are using the tool to do this, who’s really hurt by that?

OK, as long as all the well-meaning people stop discussing it, nobody will ever find out about it.

Son, this is not it.

This sounds to me like a confluence of two dysfunctions the LLM has: if you phrase a question as if you are making a racist request it will invoke “ethics”, but even if you don’t phrase it that way, it still doesn’t really understand context or what “Africa” is. This is spicy autocomplete. It is working from somebody else’s list of countries, and it doesn’t understand that what you want has a precise, contextually appropriate definition that you can’t just autocomplete into.

You can get the second type of error with most prompts if you’re not precise enough with what you’re asking.
