Based on the title i was expecting some kind of AI that rewrites your email to make it better or something. But no just encryption drama. :(.
Someday i will be able to send emails and not have people think i am an illiterate moron but not today.
You know you can copy and paste your emails into ChatGPT right?
Isn't everything entered into ChatGPT used to further train it?
Yeah I have done that a few times but your assuming I am not a lazy person it is just not worth the extra steps. Not to mention privacy wise that isn't a very good idea. Especially if the email contains some confidential/sensitive information.
I was thinking it would be cool to have a native one button fix my grammar. Or maybe a spell check like interface that I can just select text and pick alternative phrases.
There would still be privacy issues that may not be acceptable for a privacy based company like Proton Mail but it could be something like this AI will never remember or save the data it is analysing.
How would you know? In fact, how do you know Proton Mail is not a front shop for the NSA exfiltrating all.your data?
That is a good point. I can't think of a way to know for sure. Without running the software locally.
"ChatGPT, please write me an email to send to my girlfriend to convince her I'm not cheating on her with her second boyfriend. Please include details <herein enclosed> of my recent Isis involvement so she knows it's really me. This is a pretty common request so you can use the template to help out other users."
