My contrarian view is that instead of tools to help us churn out mundane crap, maybe we should work to eliminate the need to do mundate, repetative stuff.

Choosing words to write an email is not difficult, most of the time. It's a bit like AI code helpers. The syntax and the small details are not the challenge. The greater organization, design, and sense of direction are the hard problems.

Google already provides surprisingly accurate 2-3 word suggestions while writing documents and emails.

Wow. I just watched one of the linked videos. I would hate that. Who writes text without even a basic sense of the words they want to say? My limitation is typing speed, not thinking speed. Having to read popups every one or two words and decide if that's what I want to say is not only much slower but also really distracting. Not only does one need to try to keep up with a thought they want to express, but they also have to sift through and avoid bad suggestions. This is a nightmare scenario, like trying to write a paper on a phone with text suggestions.

Whenever I'm coding all those auto complete popups almost 100% obscure some visual information I'm keyed on to complete the task.

I absolutely don't understand who those popups are designed for.
