Time is the main reason. In jobs where you write dozens of client-facing emails every day, small time savings compound fast.
Most people working in Outlook all day are doing exactly this kind of work: responding to clients, coordinating projects, clarifying requests, following up, documenting decisions, and managing constant communication.
Instead of writing every email from scratch, I can give AI instructions like:
“Read the email chain. The client needs X, Y, and Z. Write a draft reply in my voice.”
That takes seconds instead of several minutes per email. Across an entire workday, that can save hours.
Fair enough, but if you’re a manager isn’t that kind of the whole job? Communicating with people. If you’re not doing that, what are you getting paid to do?
I can’t imagine out-sourcing the skill-set you’re being paid for to an AI tool is a great way to build up that skill. Sounds like humanity’s typical great short-term idea with horrible long-term consequences.
