Nik Vassev, a tech entrepreneur, used Claude AI to craft a supportive message after a friend's mother passed away. While AI is commonly utilized for professional emails, Vassev recognized its potential in personal interactions too. However, he learned that revealing AI's involvement can diminish the perceived authenticity of the message. As AI adoption grows, it’s seamlessly integrated into personal communications such as text messages and speeches, challenging the notion of genuine emotional expression and trust-building.
I just wanted to just get a second opinion about how to approach that situation, he says. As guys, sometimes we have trouble expressing our emotions.
People devalue writing that is AI assisted, he acknowledges. It can rub people the wrong way.
Since late 2022, AI adoption has exploded in professional contexts, where it's used as a productivity-boosting tool, and among students, who increasingly use chatbots to cheat.
Disclosing the role of AI could defeat the purpose of these writings, which is to build trust and express care.
