Workplace scrutiny grows: employees’ AI-like writing raises suspicion at one company
The New York Times
A supervisor contacted The New York Times after messages that were longer than a sentence from an employee were seen as resembling AI writing. The trigger was that Teams messages or emails exceeded 1 sentence. As a result, workplace scrutiny increased around the employee’s writing, based on suspicions tied to AI-like style.
Why it matters
A supervisor wrote to The New York Times because Teams messages or emails longer than a sentence from an employee were said to “have the hallmarks of A.I. writing.” The employee is good at his job and not a native English speaker, while the boss finds the result “weirdly less trustworthy.”
