Letters and AI data leakage: what a pasted letter gives away in ChatGPT or Claude.
Formal letters are drafted slowly and reviewed carefully, which is why staff ask an AI tool to speed up the draft. A letter puts the client in the header, repeats the advice and the figures behind it, and carries the signature of a named professional. These pages mark up real letter types across professions and show what each paragraph exposes.
