Google has acknowledged that integrating its Gemini artificial intelligence into Gmail has caused emails to sound the same, losing each user's personality. To remedy this, the company announces an update to its assisted writing feature, which will now analyze context by connecting with Drive and Gmail history, allowing tone and style to be adjusted to reflect each person's personal writing.
AI now reviews your Drive and inbox to mimic your writing style 📧
The new version of assisted writing is based on a model that examines previous documents in Drive and emails sent from Gmail to capture the user's language patterns, jargon, and sentence structure. Thus, when drafting an email, Gemini will adapt the text to the sender's usual tone, whether formal, colloquial, or technical. Google assures that the system does not store personal data, but processes information in real-time to generate suggestions that are more natural and less generic than current ones.
Goodbye to emails that seem written by a boring robot 🤖
Finally, AI will stop writing as if it had taken an intensive course in corporate bureaucracy. Now, when you ask for a quick email, instead of dropping a Dear colleague, I am pleased to inform you…, it will drop a Hey, did you see the report?. Or so they promise. Of course, we'll have to see if Gemini doesn't get too clever and, after reading your Drive memes, starts writing work emails with eggplant emojis.
