Nope, I would prefer getting the prompt.

I would also prefer anyone sending me the AI output and not either their ideas or their prompt, to not contant me ever again.

If I wanted the output of the AI, I'd ask it myself. You're just a useless intermediary if you send it to me.

Maybe you personally do; most people would react more poorly to "find a polite way to tell this guy to fuck off" than the output of that prompt.

[coldtea]

That's the most contrived counter-argument...

We've been writing business emails for 40+ years. Anyone with -2 stddev IQ and above would know to tweak a 10-word prompt to a more polite version before sending it

[emodendroket]

It's an extreme expression but "soften this message" is a common goal.

This might apply to the AI integrations in Gmail, but someone's own agent setup might have more references saved privately than yours. You can't ask your AI to search through my personal notes.

[coldtea]

The people that send that crap are the guys who one-off it, not the guys who have a carefully crafted context, skills, and local references on top of the prompt.

I was going to say... Sometimes I load up my context with a ton of data. The output is shorter than the input.

I've been going back and forth on this, and I think I agree with you about 95%. But for some cases, where I don't really have a choice about whether or not I'm going to hear from you, there are certain dullards that I'd rather have filtered through a chat bot. It really would be an improvement over whatever they had to say. Listening to their genuine human output has negative value, but filtered through an LLM might bring that value up to zero.
