People can object to auto-reply's contribution to the degradation of conversations, even if they, themselves, don't use it.

That was the topic of about half the article.

I've gotten email responses that look like a suggested autoreply and it makes me judge the person and value of the conversation.

The person may have typed it but it comes across that way.

Happy to use an email provider that doesn't have a bot reading my mail.

The suggestions probably come from people’s email, so as the system gets better, you’ll be judging someone just because Gmail later plagiarized them.
