Yes I would think less of you if you had a personal assistant write a eulogy or other personal correspondence for you. IT'S not comparable asking chat Gpt to review a first draft either because chatGpt can't think and has no ability to understand emotion or context it's a statistical bullshit engine

Agree re eulogy etc. But in general, whether or not it's ceding *your own* mental and creative abilities is the issue in the OP. So the fact that a PA can think and ChatGPT can't doesn't change that aspect.

Yes but chatGpt is an objectively worse option

Maybe but that's a different argument. (Do you mean, because it provides worse outcomes? This depends on your PA / whoever you ask for feedback...)

It can't understand context empathy or have actual experience it can only give you a statistically most likely combination of words if you want a page of BS Gen Ai will create it for you but a human PA is capable of pointing out errors asking questions to improve the material etc things you missed

The OP's argument is that it is bad to cede your mental and creative processes. Other people have other arguments but that was the one I was addressing.
