Probably not that long.... It will be the same as with the calculator with the one big exception that if someone cannot write well this person will have a host of other problems as well.
I don’t need to see details about it to understand I would never outsource my personal communication to anyone, let alone “AI”.
Do people really want this? I don't want AI writing my emails, not because they don't do a good job, they generally do, but I want it to be in my voice. And I want the reader to know that I took the time to write them a thoughtful reply.
Sadly, I don’t think that’s a future concern.
you can tell if it serves your needs or theirs by whether it's free or not.
hoping Mimestream gets their iOS/iPadOS version of their client out soon. the desktop version is so good it's probably stopping me migrating from gmail when i know i probably should...
Each email offers a variety of AI responses. E.g.
Today I got an email with a vendor invoice. I am offered:
If I click on "Request Clarification" it generates this draft reponse:
"I received your email regarding invoice XYZ from [name of company]. I noticed that there is a new monthly amount due. Could you please clarify the reason for this change in the amount due? I look forward to hearing from you."
If I click on the 'Dispute' option, it generates this draft response:
"I received an invoice from [name of company] for an amount due of $XXX. However, I believe there may have been an error in the calculation of this invoice. Can we please discuss this further in order to clarify the situation and resolve this matter? Thank you for your attention to this matter."
Sure it's not perfect, but it has the name of the company, the invoice number and the question I want to ask. I sometimes will send as is, or perhaps tweak it a bit and I'm done.
Through the course of a day I can save quite a bit of time.
"thoughtful" Wow, that's a word I do not hear often these days.
But yes, there will definitely be the tendency to outsource basically everything that AI can do just because it saves time. But at what cost?

By the time I decide which suggestion fits my needs the most, read what it suggests to me, edit what it suggested to me, I have already written a whole paragraph myself.
I will develop a mail client that uses AI to determine if emails coming to you were written with AI. Let the games begin..
Pass. I hope the AI stuff is 100% optional. I can write my own emails, texts and do the specific searches I want.
We shouldn't be encouraging people to write Stephen King novels as email replies. Got to get your point across in 3 lines or less...according to my email composition course I took in college.
That won't happen until after it takes over the other things that take too much time to do. You know, like art, poetry, photography, screenplays, all those boring things that give us our humanity.
And still won't be able to get push email for gmail like every other mail app, but they will blame it on Google....

How long before A.I. is able to run the world without the help of "inferior?" humans?
I mean for a good chunk of the population this is already the case, AI or not.
How in the heck are people so lazy that they're not willing to write their own E-mails? Way to dehumanize our lives even more. :/
When I need help composing and replying to emails, just shoot me. Meanwhile, Apple would be well advised to fix its buggy email client before adding features of dubious value.
After 12 years or so, it would be nice if Mail could finally send emails that are displayed
in Arial font instead of Times font when they arrive in Windows Outlook.
And I'd like it if, after 12 years or so, Mail could finally send emails in which
images arrive as attachments when they arrive in Windows Outlook instead of always as embedded thumbnails that can't be enlarged.
I know there are stupid workarounds for the latter.
For years I've been using Airmail, which crashes every time after an email with an S/MIME signature goes out.
I can't use a cloudmail service. For legal reasons.

Yes, you definitely have to see it first to form any opinion on it.
In a few days, you will be withdrawing your statements when it turns out that this will be processed on the device only.
“Our ai powered Mail app is so smart that you won’t have to think anymore. We know you’re going to love it it it it it it it error exception: checksum invalid
How is any of your response relevant at all to my point:
I will not outsource my communications to anyone or anything.
That means the tech is useless to me. Opinions about the tech and implementation details are irrelevant.
