….. you’re creeping me out with your helpful auto-responses to my email. Here, a friend and I were sharing job insecurity stories and Google picked up on what sounded like plan-making and offered three ways I might respond.
Some suggestions for you, Google:
- Please don’t assume we’ve gotten so lazy we can’t formulate responses on our own.
- Please refrain from reading my emails—now not even pretending that you’re not.
- Please stop getting your helpfulness all over everyone, as Anne Lamott would say.
