People in businesses will write out some bullet points and an AI will expand them into essays.

On the other end, people without the time to read much will have an AI summarize those essays in bullet points.

After a half century or so, everyone will get it through their thick heads that this is stupidly inefficient and just exchange the bullet points.

Getting the AI to turn the essay into a podcast would be handy though.

Naah, bullet point miss out on the language nuances that full text communicates, even in business

Yes, but people in business tend to get a lot of emails, and if most of them resort to text summarization then the nuance is lost anyway. And it's mostly lost if the recipient skims.

Also, many senders of email aren't necessarily great communicators conveying valuable nuance anyway.

Ultimately, it's a cost-benefit calculation: get occasionally-valuable nuance on a bunch of emails, or keep emails simple and do something else that might be more valuable?
