I think the feature is great. Almost half my work emails are now answered with one of the three suggestions. Saves me a ton of time. Not creeped out in the slightest.

I just hate Google. I have to use the G-Suite and work and it irritates me. I have trouble finding emails, the user interface acts weird, I just don’t like it.

I do like the meeting and videoconferencing functionality though.

I did have a kind of funny slap your forehead moment this week though. I was scheduling a meeting, so I brought up a co-worker’s calendar, and the time slots said “busy”, and I saw a free slot and put it in.

I went back a minute later to doublecheck, and the co-worker had just put a meeting right where I scheduled mine, so I changed to a free slot. When I looked again, he had moved his meeting to accommodate mine that I was rescheduling.

This happened three times with me rescheduling and sending out the reschedule notices, until I realized that the co-worker wasn’t moving his meeting, it was my meeting that kept coming up on his calendar. I thought it would say “pending” or something like that, but it said “busy”. He hadn’t even touched it.

I had to hang my head on that one...my own stupidity. Can’t really blame THAT on Google.

defending your disconnectedness to the relationships put in your path is a struggle i am all to familiar with. I shall not accept it! to each their own i guess.

Makes it so much easier if you don’t know the language.

Think about it.

Facebook messenger has already bern doing this. And they probably make notes of which optional response you select. More psy ops

Plus, my office just found out today it nags you if you haven’t responded to an email in three days.

The new gmail is a piece of intrusive crap.

Meetups have that too. After you go to a Meetup, you get an email with pictures of all the people that were there and you get to click on GOOD TO SEE YOU. Then the other person can click on GOOD TO SEE YOU TOO.

DUH!

I left feedback on an item I purchased from eBay the other day, and it cautioned me on my language (even though NOTHING I said was profane or even inappropriate), and told me not to leave feedback specific to the seller (that I did do, and took it out).

Of course, the search only finds the stuff I want about half the time, even though I know, because I've seen it before, that they have it. AI has a LOOONNGG way to go.

I’m still looking for an email client that doesn’t filter my damned email.

At first, I thought, “Wow, it filters out advertisements!”, but then the reality...

I can’t find a way to turn off ALL of the filters in Outlook. So I set “safe” sites and/or domains, and two weeks later it’s filtering them out again. Pisses me off. Leave my crap ALONE!!

Started getting them on my Office365 at work yesterday. Creepy. Especially because it’s the work email and really who uses the work email to discuss work.
