What is going to happen if people start to increase the length of emails and laws (luckily privacy stuff are being reduced in Europe to be more easily understandable by non-lawyers) to the point where it's like a book, imagine people stop to read them at all, and just use LLMs to ask questions directly, which can still marginally give wrong answers. It's like bypassing human limit of time, because now people can read few books in like 10-20 min, and so everything can increase too.

sender: writes summarized prompt

llm: emits excessively lengthy and polite prose

smtp: transports lengthy prose

llm: summarizes lentghy prose to bullet points

recipient: reads summary

what a wonderful waste of energy

The way out of this is to make it acceptable to send emails that open with a polite greeting and then just outline their message in bullet points. As long as they're intelligible and not outright rude, emails really don't need to be a writing contest.

Is email really like that for other industries? Where I work, the only non-content prose I read or write is the salutation and signature:

``` Hello Bob,

We're observing an issue with X, and I was directed to you by Y as a good point of contact. Do you have any comments on:

1. Some point of interest. 2. ...

Respectfully, <name> ```

This is more or less how I write emails, but most of the emails I receive are pretty bloated.

I imagine that bullet points from an email would be automatically generated at least for corporate users.
