The article argues that while generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot now let workers automate drafting, summarising and replying to emails, this automation is unlikely to reduce the overall email load and may even amplify it.

If you didn't know already: Don't trust search engines,. I just had #Bing and #MicrosoftCoPilot generate a fake review of a non-existent movie, about two non-existent characters that are themselves flukes of AI/LLM systems, whose concept only existed in the mind of Charlie Stross. It gave the movie 4/5 stars and explained why we should probably go to see it. https://mastodon.scot/@JdeBP/115986501131801942 This is not fantastic futuristic mind-reading technology. This is marketdroid bullshit generation on an industrial scale. #AIslop #WhenCrungusMetLoab #SearchEngines #marketing #MicrosoftBing #Microsoft
