As a non-wordy engineer, this was mind-blowing, I am now sending all types of fancy well written emails to people. (during the reply step), legal, bank and techy emails it copes with them all
I'll be flippant and suggest that when the e-mails have been so awesomely amazing that they want to meet you in person, they'll be expecting Peter Jones not BGARK 
I'd rather keep it real.

Ok, so we tested this plug-in for GMAIL that was recommended to me:

Serious question, how is this helpful for mankind. After a while people won't be able to write their own emails. Further down the line what else won't they be able to do. Stupid people incoming surely.https://tryellie.com/?invite=XC97NV

But seriously, as someone who has been using ChatGPT for a few weeks now for a variety of tasks, the response that are AI written do start to become easy to spot. I feel if I received an AI response to an email I had written someone I would be a little put off that the sender hadn't taken 30 seconds to write the reply themselves.
It's a bit more than e-mail:

Wait until the genie really gets loose.

AI is, as embarrassingly predicted by certain hollywood movies.. indeed developing at an exponential rate. It's simply stunning that it's possible to give a computer 'mind' a few logic rules and then add knowledge (all of mankind's knowledge) and all of a sudden it can do real human tasks - not just sums or typical machine stuff, it can make sense of complex problems and find solutions.
Frankly it's as scary as it is impressive. I'm slightly amused at the suggestion work on AI should be paused 'to put in safeguards'. How will that work? Surely if an AI becomes smart enough to grow beyond the 'safe' limits, it will be smart enough to act as if it has not. Or act as if we need to let it get smarter in order to better serve us...
If somebody or something has the inherent ability to outsmart you, it will. You can try and stop it but you will never know at exactly what point the tables turned. Complete none engagement would stop the risk, but we're human, so we won't stop prodding away.
The next 20 years will be interesting!

Beware, you may be breaking your company's rules or even data processing laws if you are putting certain data into these tools.
They will store it all to learn from and it can be accessed I'm sure by staff.
Most companies that intend to use will I'm sure be looking to purchase a version which can run on their own servers with no data leakage.
Same can be said for tools like google translate. Imagine how many people dump client emails and letters into that.

Looking for something to sort out my to do list in Outlook/ Which emails need replying to today/tomorrow/next week
If anyone knows some AI that would scan them and work out which to work on next would be great
Flag an email for attention. Open the To Do App, all your flagged emails are now Tasks in there, set deadlines for your emails. Open the My Day view and it'll give you a list of all your tasks due that day (plus any you manually add to your Day) and all your emails that need to be replied to.If anyone knows some AI that would scan them and work out which to work on next would be great

Obviously the proper, non lazy way to do that would be to visit us each at home in person and let us know what's on your mind.
Or pop you thoughts on to a postcard maybe?
Face it, we're all human. As humans it's as in our nature to create and use technology just as it's in the nature of a beaver to build a dam. You yourself very clearly make regular use of human tech in your day to day life to make things easier.
That's not to say our creations won't ruin us - but regardless, it is in our nature to create.
I'm currently trying out Github co-pilot as part of my software development. The results can vary from anything like Gordon Ramsey next to you prepping a few ingredients for you and giving a few tips all the way to a six year old next to you playing with your knife block. It's impressive but you still need to keep a close eye on the results.

Ironically, it was one of the most famous Hollywood AIs that said: It's in your nature to destroy yourselves. Obviously the proper, non lazy way to do that would be to visit us each at home in person and let us know what's on your mind.

I'm on a trial with this at the moment and I don't think I'll be paying for it - I use JetBrains and it's IntelliSense is far more useful!Found this while looking for something else: https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/1756313/art...
'And last week it emerged that a woman had received a call from a voice which she recognised as her son’s, claiming to have had an accident. He asked for money for police bail. But when she phoned her son back she discovered it wasn’t him who had made the call, but an AI-created imitation of his voice.'
Thing is, we won't know what it's capable of until it's too late.

Only recognised it wasn't her son John becuase they don't have a dog called wolfie.'And last week it emerged that a woman had received a call from a voice which she recognised as her son’s, claiming to have had an accident.
