Anyone doing something similar? Could it catch on?edit: BTW please absolutely steal/modify this idea if you want!
@mntmn absolutely ! I have a signature saying in French "this email was written without any IA gen like copilot or chat GPT. Please do the same or at least, tell me"

@mntmn however, lately some customers would have done better to just send their prompt over, so that’s that

@mntmn then it should be put AT THE TOP OF THE MESSAGE IN ALL-CAPS – because nobody reads those sigs. and so-called "legal disclaimers" at the end of messages are also just wasted bandwidth, space and energy.

@mntmn
Why past tense?
Our company adds still „don’t print this mail“ in internal mails.

@mntmn I would substitute "AI" with "LLM", but otherwise spot on!

@mntmn honestly, I'd just prefer not having to read through tons of nonsense to actually get to the point of the email. It's such wordy nonsense.

@mntmn wunderbare Idee

@mntmn ah I love this! I always thought the "don't print this email" message was wild, why would anyone print an email? And then a year ago I got a job at a warehouse where the boss (my age, mid 30s) printed SO MANY EMAILS. I had never seen anything like it and I could not dissuade her from doing it. Nor could I convince her to digitize paper records. Nor could I convince her not to use ChatGPT. I quit that job.
@Doodlelegs @mntmn a former colleague of mine printed out emails and stored them in plastic folders. Never interact with him anymore so I don’t know if he (ab)uses AI tools
now, but I bet he does… -
