> It's like discovering your spouse was using ChatGPT to write you love notes, it has no authenticity and reflects a lack of effort and care.

i dunno. id say the effort and care is decoupled. they maybe have spent hours prompting on it until it was just right, or they may have put in no look at all.

Not sure if this is a joke, but if you can't see why "hours prompting" to produce a paragraph long thank-you note isn't ridiculous then I don't know what to tell you.

As someone who's done just that... if it helps, understand that this is the kind of person who would be spending hours writing that paragraph anyway, LLM or no.

There are many possible reasons for this, and sometimes people are laboring under several of them at once.
