I think it largely depends on what you’re writing. I’ve had it reply to corporate emails which is good since I need to sound professional not human.

If I’m coding it still needs a lot of baby sitting and sometimes I’m much faster than it.



And then the person on the end is using AI to summarise the email back to normal English. To what end?


But look the GDP has increased!


But that's what I don't get: it hasn't in that scenario because that doesn't lead to a greater circulation of money at any point. And that's the big thing I'm looking for: something AI has created that consumers are willing to pay for. Because if that doesn't end up happening no amount of sunk investment is going to save the ecosystem.


So this would be an interesting output to measure but I have no idea how we would do that: has the volume of corporate email gone up? Or the time spent creating it gone down?
