GPT-4 Turbo Emails: Avoiding Formal Tone
Found a gem: I’ve been experimenting with leveraging GPT-4 Turbo (version 110) through the OpenAI API to draft emails, and the biggest challenge is avoiding that stiff, overly formal tone. Specifically, adding a small dose of randomized sentence structure – pulling from a list of 5-7 slightly different phrasing options – increased the perceived naturalness by nearly 20% based on blind A/B tests with colleagues. It's all about injecting a little unpredictability into the generation process to avoid the robotic feel.
