Ask HN: How do you motivate your humans to stop AI-washing their emails?
causal Tuesday, February 17, 2026I see it more and more in email, Slack, text, etc: People too scared to share their own thoughts so they AI-wash it and send an exhausting page of "It's not X, it's Y!" slop instead.
I'm not the CEO, I can't order people to stop. The CEO does it too.
I try talking to people directly, but people get defensive and there's always the chance they didn't use AI. I need indirect means of socializing change.
Looking for anything I can use to socialize against AI-washing: Articles, memes, policies that other companies have successfully used- whatever.
