Google uses AI to compose emails within Gmail
Google’s first big feature announcement could make composing emails much easier. Or your inbox may be filled with low-quality computer-generated messages.
Google is integrating generative AI into Gmail to quickly scale an email called “Help Me Write.” Google’s example was filling out a letter to get a full refund from the airline. Google has settings to lengthen or shorten the generated text, using the context of the previous message to create a copy.
“Type whatever you want at the prompt,[作成]Just click to see the full draft,” says Pichai. — Kiff Lesswing

Many of Google’s announcements this year are expected to center around artificial intelligence. AI has become the hottest part of the tech industry. The attention from OpenAI and its rivals is also a factor. microsofthas integrated a so-called “big language model” that can spit out fluent text and an image generator that can spit out original photos into the Bing search engine.
However, Google was heavily involved in creating these technologies, especially the Transformer architecture used by ChatGPT and other rivals. It has its own chatbot Bard, currently limited to some beta his testers only. He also has one of the strongest AI divisions, recently reorganized into Google DeepMind. — Kiff Lesswing
