Gorbachev Sings Tractors! Turnips! Buttocks! [Send]

I keep seeing this ad, or facsimiles thereof, on Facebook:

I get it: Generative AI is the neat new toy. And maybe it has its place in the writer's toolkit.

But seriously? I know this is marketing flim-flam, but anyone who replies at length to an email in "five seconds" using AI did *not* read what the AI produced before they hit send. AI probably sent this to your client, dude:

Gorbachev sings tractors! Turnips! Buttocks!

And I have to wonder how your client will react if they discover a human isn't actually reading neither their email nor the response the gen AI sent. I know they're not necessarily happy about it at Northwestern, where a student wants her tuition money back after a professor used ChatGPT to generate feedback in a class that explicitly banned AI use. (Newsweek refers to the school as both Northwestern and Northeastern in the article, so maybe it was written by AI as well.)
