I don't rely on AI at all! I rely much more on the cognitive capacity of my own brain... Should I add that throughout my 40-year career, I have communicated successfully with my clients without the help of AI?

I don't rely on it at all for those purposes and I think it's a bad idea to do so. I'm never impressed by a slick AI text from someone I know doesn't master the language very well. Pure AI is actually terrible to read and until this day very recognizable.

I don't rely on it at all. AI is terrible for this kind of task.

The checking of AI produced text is, in my opinion, the same as MTPE. So thank you, but no thank you.

As recent events have proven, AI can become extremely dangerous to companies, governments, to all of us. Consequently, I stay as far away from it as I (still) can.
