As long as the email or text includes the disclaimer "generated with the assistance of artificial intelligence" then you should be fine.

It is a charming solution that addresses the optics with great efficiency while leaving the rot entirely undisturbed. By all means, let us proceed if the goal is to feel busy. But when the inevitable occurs, please ensure you have a second, more serious suggestion ready.

Disclaimer: generated with the assistance of artificial intelligence

  • The auth logic was literally inverted. Blocking people it should allow, allowing people it should block.

    Probably any human reviewer would catch that in seconds, but AI code generation optimizes for code that runs, not code that's correct in domain-specific ways. I wrote about this pattern recently, AI converges to plausible output but misses the reasoning that requires actual expertise: https://philippdubach.com/posts/the-impossible-backhand/

but if that disclaimer means that you have to verify whether or not the "sender" agrees with the content that defeats its purpose, no? if we are all going to be like "did you mean to send this text/email...?"

Hi $wife,

You're absolutely right. Let's divorce.

I've emailed every lawyer in the state.
