“If you’re going to use an LLM to write me an email, I’d much rather you just send me the prompt; at least then I’d have an idea of what you actually meant to say.”

This would solve so many problems with my manager. He has Copilot write his emails from prompts, and is frequently sending clarifications because nobody could tell what exactly he was trying to say.

Meanwhile my emails are so short he has told me I should be using AI to make them sound friendlier. Yet nobody ever needs clarification from me because I put only the exact words needed to convey my intent.

I don't have a job with emails so maybe this is a silly question:

Could you get copilot to reverse engineer the prompt?
