#32My problem with this is that it contributes to the broken culture of email. – Wanna go for coffee? – January is busy. After? is a completely fine exchange. Adding a wall of text to convey the same information does not help anyone.
It is true that there is a risk of AI adding creating content that is unnecessarily verbose. This could end up consuming time and putting a higher cognitive load on the humans who ultimately read these emails. On the other hand, these AI systems will only advance over time. It's certainly within the realm of possibility that these systems will be able to write with increased brevity. Additionally, much like current r…
I've been playing with chatGPT lately and now when I see certain styles of writing it has me paranoid that dead internet theory is true.

#33A bit tangential but I am wondering now that we have brought everything online, I guess next step would be to integrate AI everywhere.
Consider this, you want to book your table at restaurant so you tell your AI which will inform restaurant's AI to book a table for you. In this whole scenario where is UI? I mean this whole chat with AI thing kinda makes lot of UIs redundant. I don't need UI for reminders, notes, meetings, search results and whole lot of other things. The advancements of AI will eat most of GUI but dashboards will remain I guess. What do you guys think?
Re: EmailTriager
#34After "sorry, that was the autocorrect", we will have "sorry, that was the AI's response"
We should coin a short word for it, akin to "typo" for "typographical error"...
I've been waiting for this to happen with dictation errors in speech-to-text (speako? dicto? the -o suffix would just be an homage to typo) but nothing seems to have caught on. Perhaps it's all just a typo, since the user is generating a typographical error even when the interface is dictation (or anything else) rather than typing via keyboard.
AIo really doesn't roll off the tongue.

100%, it just contributes to the digital landfill that is our inboxes. Good emails should be written like pseudo code, I suspect this will happen or emails will finally die for something that provides this type of capability of exchanging information in order to facilitate decision making.
Anyone remember google wave (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Wave) - I remember playing around with it with a few friends thinking there is definatley something in it.
Re: EmailTriager
#36this is a step in the wrong direction. why would I ever want a canned response, even if from AI? Phone IVR systems are already so badly "programmed" you objectively have to say "operator" over and over to reach a person.
In this day an age, this is all the more reason to pick up a phone and call someone.

100% this
I already have enough struggle getting a hold of a real person with these IVR systems.

Chatting with the AI is the UI.

GUI will still be used for creation and interaction with visual data; but AI will replace some uses of GUIs, sure.

Pretty sure this service is already offered by Google or Apple, I remember seeing a demo of it

Google offers it for businesses which don’t have online reservations. A robocaller calls for you during business hours to try and set up an appointment.
The problem is that it isn’t actually integrated into any schedule or reservation system, so they claim availabilities which just don’t exist and you only find out hours later when the business denies the reservation.
