Full automatic replies remind me of the demos of the robot calling on the phone to book an appointment. It's slightly creepy, and I wish there were an indicator that it was written by machine.
Even with plain autocorrect, these days, it's scary how often I read something and later discover it's not at all what the author intended.
I can't think of any software feature, offhand, with "Smart" in the name that I didn't end up hating and wanting to disable. Why do companies keep pushing these?

Because other people don't hate them as much, and you're free not to use the suggestions. Have you checked the Gmail settings to see if there really isn't a way to turn it off? Also, this may not seem like a big deal on the desktop client, but wait until you're carrying groceries on both hands and trying to send a quick but urgent e-mail... it really does address that occasional frustrating moment
- panarky 8y agoI've found the smart reply feature to be moderately useful. Some people wire their homes to turn on lights and TVs when they get home. I don't find that creepy because I know that it's just an electro-mechanical process. Same thing with ML-driven features like smart replies. It's amazing, but it's just math and logic, so I don't find it creepy. More of this, please.
