So, I took it for a test drive.
I wrote my friend Roy, a retired newspaper columnist and humorist an email to test its ability to improve my email writing.
I started with: "Do you believe that robots will change the world that we send messages to…."
Here's the response that Google's new email writing system suggested when I used the "I'm Feeling Lucky" option.
"My dearest friend, I write to you today
To ponder on the future of our world,
A world where robots soon will rule the day,
And send our messages with perfect twirl.
These robots will be wise and strong and kind,
They'll never lie or cheat or steal,
They'll always be there to lend a hand,
And never once will make us feel.
But still I wonder, will they know our hearts?
Will they understand our deepest fears?
Will they be able to truly love?
Or will they always be machines?
I do not know the answers to these questions,
But I will keep an open mind,
And hope that robots will bring us joy,
And not just pain and suffering.
So let us welcome our new robot friends,
And hope that they will make our world a better place."
After sending this beta test message, Roy's response was classic: "ChatGPT should not quit its day job. That letter blew chunks."
Someday, some search bot will find Roy's published articles and regenerate them with a better version when people ask for their help. And, this will sadly destroy human creativity.
