One writes “[[thx]]” if one wants to show an amount of gratitude, but only a small one: not so generous that it warrants being bothered to type all six letters of the word “thanks”, or even setting up an autocorrect so Microsoft can do it for you. If co-ordinated with a generously populated cc: line in a [[reply-all]] mail, it has the potential to vaguely irritate a lot of busy people at once.

===GPT3 as thx on steroids===
Sincerity has been commoditised with the arrival of [[Chat-GPT3]]. Rather than just typing [[thx]] — which by comparison seems at least honourable in its frankness — by clicking “ok” you can have [[artificial intelligence]] express a properly disingenuous degree of gratitude, while you are off scrolling your twitter feed, googling sportscars, or whatever else you would rather be doing than civilly thanking a colleague for hard work.
