I threw up a little when at Google IO they showed how to increase a complaint email by 500% with just a single click. This is a bullshit technology that makes people's life harder. The best we can hope for is a summarization bot on the other end so in effect it's just more text gzipped between humans reading/writing bullet lists.

The sender will always have an advantage over the receiver. Generating bullshit is cheap.

Ability to interpret/summarize is limited by context size and time.

Document dumping is the social DoS.

Oof. This is a very good point. And we were already dealing with a truth dilution problem in the web before these models became available.

This feels like the natural endpoint of a couple of generations of students being subjected to word counts as the primary endpoint of essays. Most of k12 english education in the states is a game of learning how to fill pages with meaningless fluff even though it's the opposite of good communication.
