        The most annoying email to receive, the one that shouldn’t exist.

        “That’s not how approvals work Karen, you need to open a ticket. Like the last time I told you this.”

      Lmao I am sure that more millennials and Gen z folks use AI in their emails than I realize but it’s the boomers and Gen x who largely fail to remove the telltale formatting, in my experience.

        Gen X and maybe Boomers were taught to type and write formally and we haven’t forgotten. AI was trained on us.

        Cue the Office Space meme about why I shouldn’t change because he’s wrong.

          I’m geriatric millennial so I also write formally and use bold, italic and underline in written communication. Oh, and lots of numbered lists!! However, AI applies it differently than I’ve ever seen humans do it, and it doesn’t make sense to me. So lump me right in there with the not wanting to change because AI is wrong.

          Younger millennial here, we were taught formal at school then had to unlearn all that shit in the workplace.
