It's just unnecessary LLM hatred. This is actually an example of what it's supposed to be used for
If your boss is hand typing you an email like this then you can assume your boss barely does any real work
This is a really bad take my guy. In a business setting the details are important, and so is accountability. If you are using chatgpt to write emails and just copying/pasting responses you might miss it allowing or agreeing to something that you didn't mean to, like how long someone can take off and/or the overall urgency. And if you then have to go back and forth to tweak the tone and details with an LLM, you are probably wasting more time than just writing the couple of sentences yourself.
You can't use "oh but an LLM wrote this it wasn't exactly what I meant to say" as an excuse when you get called out on something in a corporate setting. And by their very nature an LLM can never say exactly what you meant to say.
I love how you start off by belittling him with "my guy". That really digs in reciprocal engagement.
Your use of sarcasm seems hypocritical to me.
