AI uses - writing emails, transcribing meetings, managing files... wtf?

Seriously, people would let AI write their emails for them? If the Email is so unimportant that you feel you can palm it off to AI, why are you bothering to send it in the first place? if it's a standard boilerplate response. "Thank you for your application, yadda, yadda, yadda". You can create a Template. Hell do it properly and you dont even need to have to modify it beyond adding the email address.

Transcribing Meetings? Who on Earth does this? And if you actually had to do this, would you really trust the hallucinations of an AI to actually accurately reflect what was covered in the meeting?

Managing files? If you are actually at the level of properly managing files (not just deleting the rubbish bin occasionally), then you would be far better off creating a script to do the managing for you. It's not going to suddenly go off and start "managing" other files that werent in the original remit, because the AI had a hallucination and decided that Root was a dirty word and therefore all files in Root had to be deleted...

I've yet to hear of an ACTUAL daily usecase for AI for the normal consumer or even the normal worker. It's just another buzzword used to try and sell new PCs. It needs to go away... Fast....
