Obviously the AI version is bland and terrible, but arguably more importantly it has also completely changed the meaning of the message. The AI version:

- apologizes

- implies the recipient was "promised" this email as a "response" to something

- blames a hectic schedule

- invites questions

None of this was in or was even implied in the original. This is not a "polished" version, it's just a straight-up different email. I thought that style transfer while maintaining meaning was one of the few things LLMs can be good at, but this example fails even that low bar.
