Workplace AI Incident: Colleague Uses AI to Generate Insulting Feedback Response

I am the kind of guy that lets a lot of things slip. I appreciate we all write in different styles, grammar, and tone; we all mangle punctuation to suit.

If am asked to critique, I prefer constructive rather than, 'hang on while I rewrite this in my own style' kind of approach.

The response came back: 'Your feedback is pedantic and unhelpful. Perhaps you should stick to your lane.'

It was an AI-generated insult. My colleague had used ChatGPT to craft a response to my feedback.

AI is changing how we communicate at work, and not always for the better. It's giving people tools to be more direct, more cutting, and sometimes just plain rude.
