chupacabra's brain dump

I hate AI, but it helps my corporate English

I'm a civil engineer and I have an office job. I'm constantly needing to communicate corporately at my job to get through. My first language is Spanish, so navigating this corporate world is a bit overwhelming sometimes, specially when communicating.
At work, they currently have their own AI chatbot, and though I despise AI and what it stands for right now, this chatbot is actually good for some things.

For example, you can find internal documents quickly, ask for company details, ask to look for stuff in your emails, or look for documents on your computer and it works great for that, but what I use it most if for:
"Write this better, but not too fancy:"

And I give it an input of what I want to write. What this does is that the AI works on my grammar or how I say stuff, but it doesn't fill my message with all the AI slop wording of the typical long dash '—', as it usually does. It just fixes my language to better express my message.

Still, I hate when someone tells me to let the AI do stuff for me, or to ask an AI to explain something. 100% of the time it's given me wrong info, so I stopped doing this. Even this work chatbot, if I ask for non-company related stuff it will provide some correct details, but mixed with false data.

However, people rely too much on AI, and that's an issue. You get dumber by not learning things yourself, but also the AI is getting dumber each day by learning from other AI generated slop.
