If someone is going to use an LLM to send me an email, I'd much rather them just send me the prompt directly. For the LLM message to be useful the prompt would have included all the context and details anyway, I don't need an LLM to make it longer and sound more "professional" or polite.

That is actually exactly my unstated point / the awareness I was hoping to achieve by trying to make that meme :D
Not necessarily. Your prompt could include instructions to gather information from your emails and address book to tell your friend about all the relevant contacts you know in the shoe industry.
Well that sounds reasonable enough. My only request is that you send me the prompt and let me decide if I want to comply...informed consent!
