This is the one case I don't mind it. Suggested responses feel like they cheapen human interaction, but here I'm talking to a robot that really does tend to know what I want next, and also is highly unlikely to be offended by a less-than-heartfelt response.
replyThe suggestions in the box where I put my text push me out of flow. Bad enough it says “want to do X?”, but when it’s in my own text box it screws me up. It’s not more efficient. It actively makes things worse for me.
replyWhat's stopping you from ignoring it? Also you can hit the spacebar so it hides.

replyAgree! I wasn’t sold on it at first, but I use it occasionally in KiroCrew now. Especially if I’m on mobile and using one hand.
replyThe good thing about it though is it doesn't interrupt usage at all. It's just there, and if you want it just press 1 button.
replyApple messages on my Mac has started doing this recently. Anyone figured out how to turn it off? It drives me mad
replyThe worst is Gmail's recent feature to suggest an entire goddamn email that includes cheery little details, doing its best to mimic human pleasantries and small talk. Rather than simply offering "yep/nope" type short replies like it once did, it'll now auto-compose and suggest a multi-paragraph email responding to questions like "How's the family doing?" or "Is your older cat tolerating the new kitten yet?" with completely fabricated saccharine slop.
replyIt's like Clippy pops up and goes "It looks like you're trying to maintain a shred of human connection in an online interaction. Would you like a smiling skinwalker to do that for you instead?"
This is hilarious as someone who hasn't used the gmail composition interface in years. I left it to use my own domain, but it seems like I get to enjoy this mess with popcorn too instead of tears.
replyI get so angry about these intrusions. There is nowhere I am more opposed to AI written slop than in my interactions with friends and family.
replyThe iOS keyboard and gmail app are the worst offenders here.
Strong agree. I turn off search suggestions in all my browsers, and I’ve done so for at least a decade.
