Y Combinator's Paul Graham warns that AI-generated emails from startup founders lose all impact once detected
Graham noted a telltale journalistic tone exposes these drafts
#78Paul Graham@PAULGI have never knowingly finished reading an email signed by a human but written by AI. It feels like being lied to, and who would stand for that?
Paul Graham@paulgA lot of the emails I get from founders are now written in a hard-hitting journalistic style. I know they're written by AI, because no founder ever wrote this way before. And once you realize something is written by AI, it's hard not to ignore it.
