Are you a new employee? Not sure how to reply to your welcome email your Manager sent?

Workspace saves you the time and effort involved in writing that first welcome reply email.

Can't wait for Google to add ChatGPT-like features to Chrome and their suite of Web Apps so I can finally ditch Microsoft Edge with it's ChatGPT integration. The UI of Edge is god awful. It has the same issue as Explorer in Windows where Microsoft thinks showing you all UI buttons and other UI elements at once is a great idea. Microsoft can't make compelling consumer facing products to save their life.

What features are you looking/hoping for in a ChatGPT-like integration with Google web apps?

I actually liked Edge and was happy to move away from Chrome. Then they started injecting their content into web pages. And then some shopping feature. I hate seeing the "You can now add extensions from the Chrome..." banner when I'm logged in the Chrome web store. It won't go away even after I closed it multiple times.

I started using Brave.

It's interesting that the example for using an AI to write documents is a job description. It is uniquely suited to the AI because in real life, we've been copy-pasta-ing them for decades. It's also a place where there is some level of legal peril - a job description with material inaccuracies or discriminatory language creates lawsuits.

I've gotten templated recruiting emails with this bug. I wonder if an AI would spit this out, or something weirder as the name.

Except they likely think it isn’t generated, like a lot of plagiarism

Not exactly. These are your feelings because you know of A.I. and would rather not receive a canned message BUT not all people are the same. There are many who would appreciate that email and welcome it. Ignorance is not bliss.
