Artificial intelligence or AI has gotten scary good over the past few months and continues to evolve. Students are using AI chatbots to do their homework. Journalists are using them to make their jobs easier. And now, introverts can use them to reply to people without actually replying to them.
When the feature goes live, users will be prompted to “Try it” when they tap the new sparkle icon after opening an RCS chat. Up to 20 previous messages and all included content – emojis, URLs, image captions, and voice transcriptions – except for attachments, voice messages, and emails will be sent to Google’s servers to help Magic Compose come up with relevant and contextual suggestions. The messages will be discarded by Google once a reply is composed.
Catfishing on a new level?
Magic Compose automatically generates responses based on your earlier messages
The automatically generated answers can be great for times when you are in a hurry or your social battery is running low. It can also come in handy in situations when you are not sure if your message sounds right as Magic Compose can change the tone of your message but there are only seven options right now: chill, excited, remix, Shakespeare, lyrical, short, and formal. So in case you want to sound assertive or friendly, you’ll have to reword it yourself.
But then again, no one is saying that you have to use this feature all the time, but as humans we are pretty good at abusing stuff.
