Why do people who attempt to critique AI lean on the "no one wants this, everyone hates this" instead of just making their point. If your arguments are strong you don't need to wrap them in false statistics.

> no one wants this, everyone hates this

Is not false statistics. "Nobody wanted or asked for this" is literally true.

Proof by counterexample: I want this.

You probably want the version of it they sold you in the advertising. Or are you actually happy with the slop they're currently shipping?

The article leads with a feature to get AI to write your emails for you. I personally don’t have much use for that, since I like writing and I’m pretty fast at it, but I know multiple people both inside and outside of tech who’ve told me they do this for most of their long emails now.
