I suspect a lot of the debate here might end up divided along gender lines. Men and women tend to communicate differently (of course this is a generalization, and doesn't apply for all men or all women) - with men often valuing short, efficient and informative replies. I think smart replies are a great advance towards communicating quickly and efficiently - which is the use case for most text conversations. But it is important to realize when we expect communication to be more descriptive and personal.
