When it's a simple data transfer, like "2 pm at shake shack sounds good", it's less useful. it's when we're doing messy human shit with deep feelings evoking strong emotions that it shines. when you get to the point where you're trading shitty emails to someone that you, at one point, loved, but are now just getting all up in there and writing some horrible shit. Writing that horrible shit helps you feel better, and you really want to send it, but you know it's not gonna be good, but you just send it anyway. OR - you tell ChatGPT the situation, and have it edit that email before you send it and have it take out the shittiness, and you can have a productive useful conversation instead.

the important point of communicating is to get the other person to understand you. if my own words fall flat for whatever reason, if there are better words to use, I'd prefer to use those instead.

"fuck you, pay me" isn't professional communication with a client. a differently worded message might be more effective (or not). spending an hour agonizing over what to say is easier spent when you have someone help you write it
