you bought ai to write the emails a human now rewrites.
it drafts in nine seconds. someone then spends nine minutes making it sound like a person again.
this is the most popular kind of automation right now: the kind that adds a step. the model produces something instantly, in a tone that announces itself as generated, and a human has to launder it back into language a customer will not roll their eyes at. you did not remove the work. you moved it, and made it more irritating. point the tool at your own past emails as the voice to match, and set one rule: if it still needs a full rewrite, that was the wrong thing to automate. some writing is the relationship, and the relationship is not a draft.
