A breeder photographs his manuscript draft for ChatGPT to format his mails

What was done

On 26 December 2025, France Agricole published a dossier on the daily uses of general AI. Noël Anthonioz, a breeder in Haute-Savoie, said to take out his phone to open ChatGPT at least twice a week. He did not have long studies, so he used it to put his letters on the page: he wrote down his ideas in the pen on a draft, took a picture and sent it to the AI, which put the mail on the page. He stressed the need to remain suspicious and to recheck the information given. The article cites other possible uses for farmers (job offers, short circuit communication, synthesis of documents), without assigning them to the farmer.
