I think I made it clear in the post that LLMs are not actually very helpful for writing emails, but I’ll address what feels to me like a pretty cynical take: the idea that using an LLM to help draft an email implies you’re trying to trick someone.

Human assistants draft mundane emails for their execs all the time. If I decide to press the send button, the email came from me. If I choose to send you a low quality email that’s on me. This is a fundamental part of how humans interact with each other that isn’t suddenly going to change because an LLM can help you write a reply.
