“Do you really want to receive an ai generated letter?,” one user asked.

That's the whole point. Nobody deserves to read a generated letter.

All users of AI: PLEASE learn that simple fact!

Eh, for routine nonsense where a letter really shouldn't be necessary but apparently is (e.g. dealing with collections/creditors, communicating w/ representatives, etc), I don't see a problem with it. Almost nobody writes personal letters, so yeah, I think an AI-generated letter for official purposes is acceptable (provided the AI letter is accurate), and should be a signal to the receiver that they should just make an online portal to communicate the same request.
