I now have a Copilot for M365 license at work - and it wants to help me write emails. So far it's been helpful in fleshing out emails, but it's way to perky. I feel like if it could dot "i"s with little flowers or smiley faces, it would.
I need to tune it to my style - either training it on "The Bastard Operator From Hell" web pages from the 2000s, or the collected writings of Hunter S. Thompson.

I would be able to deal with present day happenings better if I had a HST bot or maybe an early Tony Bourdain bot.

I feel like that's basically Clippy on steroids. "It looks like you're trying to write an email..."

I hate this. If you're going to send a personal email to someone, make it personal. We're forced to use gmail at work. Nobody likes it but we don't have any choice. We don't even have imap or pop3 access. So many AI prompts all over the place really clutters things up when trying to write an email.

It would be really neat-o if you could customize it to look like Clippy! :D

In my case, I was dressing up an acknowledgement of a software request.
Nothing personal.

I'm hiring for a couple of positions and have *definitely* received
thank you emails written by LLM. At this point, it's easy to tell.
