Jobs where a fluent draft makes it worse

A stop list: high cost of being wrong, no source of truth, one-off judgment, and anything that should stay human.

What you will learn

  • ✓Apply a skip rule before opening a chatbot
  • ✓Name tasks that stay human in your role
  • ✓Explain the skip to a colleague who wants to automate everything

The skill that keeps you employed is not “automate more.” It is knowing when fluency is a hazard.

Aside. The robot does not get your badge. Your manager still reads the email with your name on it.

Skip the model when

  • The cost of a wrong sentence is legal, medical, safety, or someone’s job
  • There is no source of truth to check
  • You will do this once and the setup is longer than the task
  • The work is the relationship (the apology, the negotiation, the no)

Drafting a condolence email and sending the first output is how you become a story people tell.

Packet

Should I use a model for this? Answer SKIP or DRAFT-AND-CHECK.

One sentence.

JOB: [what, who sees it, cost if wrong]

Do not treat the model’s answer as permission. It likes to be useful.

You are done when

You have a skip list for your role with at least three items.
