I love that the AI's "professionalize" function - judging by that image - removes any actual useful information from the message. The 'before' message clearly states the problem, gives an example, and explains why fixing it is important. The 'professionalized' version is not only completely vague on all those points but eliminates any sense of urgency!

I would also like very much to sit in on the process of writing and selecting these glimpses of Dimension Apple for the marketing shit. Do they have a writer's room? Is there a Dimension Apple Bible?

I saw someone pithily note (of LLMs writing fiction-ish things) 'why would I want to read something no one had written', and I think it applies here- the core business model of most of these AI-flavored writing gizmos is to produce documents that have that ineffable corporate flavor of no one actually needing to read them.

Ah yes, the professionalize button- turn your actual human communication that might get actual results into something simultaneously more threatening and more obviously not worth reading.

Tito, putatively masculine, looks like a woman. Does this date me?
