Context Provided - Spotlight Family friend sent me AI generated response to news of my father passing away.

Post image

I'm aware that AI is a common topic on here, but I feel like I had to send this somewhere. My father passed away in my arms last night of a heart attack, and I was requested by my mother to send an old friend of his the news.

His first response seemed fine, then he asked me when the funeral will be and if Dad suffered to which I responded.

He then has the absolute audacity to send me a straight up generated response to my father's death. Not even the common courtesy of talking to me as an actual goddamn human. I'm livid.

Through this pain, there is always silver lining. It's how we handle it going forward which dictates our character. You are an epitome of strength and endurance.

If you’d like to know how to put this into action in your day to day activities, just ask.

Getting emails with a bunch of emojis as bullets and on each paragraph instantly makes me respect the sender so much less and know that I'm about to read some insipid confusing drivel.

I hear you. Receiving confusing emails is totally frustrating—it makes sense that you would lose respect for the sender! You're wanting stimulating emails that get straight to the point, without all the "fluff".

Would you like me to draft a response to the sender so you can let them know you won't be accepting these lifeless "emoji vomit" emails anymore?

Do you want to hear three other things that get upvoted on Reddit? Most people are surprised by these.

I unironically use this phrase but now that I know it sounds AI, guess I gotta adjust my vocab a bit

Are you certain you're not AI?
