AI used to check spelling in my emails, and I really appreciated that.
Then AI started correcting my grammar,and I found that helpful.
Then I would type the first word or two of a commonly used phrase, and AI would complete the sentence for me.
Then AI started finishing more nuanced sentences based on the email's context, and to my surprise, it was right most of the time.
The saving grace was/is that I had the option to use the "hints" or not.
Today I had a conversation using email, and AI summarized the previous message. I didn't ask for it, AI just did it on its own, but the humour and sarcasm were lost and a totally different impression was conveyed. It was just a silly back-and-forth I had with a friend -- but what if AI starts summarizing all messages, and we become lazy or dependent on the summaries? And the summations are longer, more detailed and nuanced...
SO... a friend completed a 1,000-piece puzzle in a few hours and I jokingly accused her of cheating by turning the pieces upside down so that the picture wouldn't confuse her. She played along and asked for more cheating tips, so it's kind of obvious I was joking, but what if the subject was about something other than finishing a puzzle?
