I’m just kind of stunned by the “summarize this email” button. It’s 3 sentences!
Yeah.. I saw this on a technical blog post for developers the other day and almost bust a blood vessel
Can they add a button "understand this for me"? I don't feel like a summary is reducing my effort enough. /s
"Read with my fucking eyes"
"get fucked"
Do people regularly get emails long enough to justify a summary button? I think I've seen those maybe once out every thousand emails I get.
Or is it summarizing the whole thread?
Not regularly, but sometimes I'll come back to work after a few days off, and find one of those threads of 200 emails pinging around chaotically.
In those cases, I'm happy to let Copilot try and figure out what the hell was going on. Worst case it gives me a dogshit summary and I'm no worse off.
I do, but that's because I subscribe to hobby newsletters that tend to run long. I wouldn't use a summary button because I want every bit of that content.
