Spent two weeks trying to get an AI to write a simple email in my company's voice

Ten whole hours of recorded phone calls? That's a massive amount of raw material to listen back to. I would cringe myself into a hole hearing my own voice for that long. The idea of feeding an AI my real, messy chats is kind of wild, but it makes total sense. Perfect written examples don't have any of the weird stuff that makes you sound like you.

Noticed a ton of new fiber pedestals going up in the new subdivision off Route 9

Those deals are such a pain. It's like the building gets a single provider and the rest of us are just locked out, @ross.felix.

Oh man, that's a classic. Once bought a "secret map" to a local cryptid's lair that was just a badly drawn cartoon of a squirrel wearing a tiny hat. The seller swore it was "metaphorically accurate.
