Summary: • Gmail’s ‘Help Me Write’ AI feature can now draft automated messages in Gmail, text messages and Google apps. • The Help Me Write feature expands on the “Smart Compose” and “Smart Reply” features already offered by Gmail. • Users can further edit the email manually or send it as is once drafted.
I think there’s a nice little horror story in that: “My husband has been dead for six months but his AI copy won’t stop emailing me” or something like that.
All I can say, if a email can be written by AI then I don’t need to read it, then a AI can read that email for me and put it into the spam folder.
It seems practical enough for mails that seem uselessly verbose. But eh, then the issue is why do you have to write all the “boring emails” in the first place ? Why are they so boring that you need an AI to write them for you ?
I’m sure soon enough people are going to develop some “get to the point” extension that automatically deletes all the unnecessarily verbose sentences AI writes.
They’ll write an AI for that.
This already exists. So a human feeds 4 bullet points into an LLM which generates a few paragraph email. On the other side an LLM reads the paragraph and generates 4 bullet points. It’s like reverse compression.

Joan is awful
Honestly I find this really cool. AI might wipe us all out one day but I’m gonna use the hell out of it before that happens.
