Yea, but it's still different to templates. My parents said playing video games was a waste of computing power. The confidentiality breach will be no worse than Gmail or Hotmail. So, not good, but also not new.
It's not bad just because it's AI. AI is much worse than it's purported to be and hasn't really progressed in a few years, but it has its uses.
Summarising and composing emails and other communications see a to be a strength.
