I work at a Fortune 50. Eventually, it'd be great to have something like x.ai "watching" emails fly through an internal SMTP server, and then decide if parties external to the conversation ought to be involved. There's a good amount of effort duplication and projects which fall short of their true potential because the right humans weren't involved.
- xerophyte12932 12y agoSure it sounds cool that if Alice asks Bob about some internal API and Bob says he doesn't know about it much, the system should suggest involving Carl who actually wrote the API. But who would want a system to read their emails? Heck even if you imagine the whole situation in real life, where you randomly pop in between two strangers and give them a suggestion (no matter how useful) they will consider you a creep for eavesdropping on them. Do this often enough and you are bound to be chased through the streets by an angry mob. Plus, think of all the times the AI doesn't understand the conversation and makes crappy suggestions. Like each time that API is cmentioned, suppose the system says "involve Carl! He's a Pro". i Can see this getting annoying really fast
