How does this work in practice? I suspect you're just going to get an email that takes longer for everyone to read, and doesn't give any more information (or worse, gives incorrect information). Your prompt seems like what you should be sending in the email.
If the model (or context?) was good enough to actually add useful, accurate information, then maybe that would be different.
I think we'll get to the point really quickly where a nice concise message like in your prompt will be appreciated more than the bloated, normalised version, which people will find insulting.
Yeah, normally my "Make this sound better" or "summarize this for me" is a longer wall of text that I want to simplify, I was trying to keep my examples short. Talking to non-technical people about a technical issue is not the easiest for me, AI has helped me dumb it down when sending an email, and helps correct my shitty grammar at times.
As for accuracy, you review what it gives you, you don't just copy and send it without review. Also you will have to tweak some pieces that it gives out where it doesn't make the most sense, such as if it uses wording you wouldn't typically use. It is fairly accurate though in my use-cases.
Hallucinations are a thing, so validating what it spits out is definitely needed.
Another example: if you feel your email is too stern or gives the wrong tone, I've used it for that as well. "Make this sound more relaxed: well maybe if you didn't turn off the fucking server we wouldn't of had this outage!" (Just a silly example)
