The elevator in my building was broken. The building management company sent out this message:
Please be aware that we are experiencing intermittent problems with the elevator. We are putting your safety first and taking immediate steps to correct the problem.
Our electrician has determined that low voltage may be affecting the performance of the elevator. Con Edison has been notified directly by the electrician, and they are working together to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. Con Edison won’t be able address this problem until next week.
The elevator will not be in service until this issue is resolved.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by any interruption in elevator service. We are committed to ensuring your safety, and will do everything we can to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
We are grateful for your patience and co-operation during this time.
I asked ChatGPT if it could rewrite the text for humans. It replied with:
We are fixing the elevator problems to ensure your safety.
Our electrician discovered a possible low voltage issue that could affect the elevator. Con Edison has been notified and they are working together on a quick solution. Con Edison, however, can only begin repairs next week.
We’re closing the elevator for safety until it is fixed.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused and we are working quickly to fix it. We appreciate your patience and co-operation.
I went one step further.
The elevator has probably broken down. ConEd is repairing the elevator, but it won’t be done until next week.
Thank you for your patience. We understand that it is a pain.
It’s not because it’s fun or easy. People do it in the mistaken belief they can get off the hook.
