I tried getting Pete's prompt to write emails

It was awful

The lesson here is "AI" assistants should not be used to generate things like this

They do well sometimes, but they are unreliable

They analogy I heard back in 2022 still seems appropriate: like an enthusiastic young intern. Very helpful, but always check their work

I use LLMs every day in my work. I never thought I would see a computer tool I could use natural language with, and it would be so useful. But the tools built from them (like the Gmail subsequence generator) are useless
