Slack trains machine-learning models on user messages, files and other content without explicit permission. The training is opt-out, meaning your private data will be leeched by default.
I miss Slack, though circa several years back. “Just worked,” on most any platform, without the BS or “help”.
Wouldn’t like it now, I’m sure, but haven’t had a chance to use it since I started working for a co who is “all in” on MS, including foisting AI on us.
I am capable of drafting an email or message, bitches. If I am concerned about tone, etc., I’d prefer to employ an actual human I have a close relationship with to review the same.
I have zero desire to be constantly corrected, and there are certain niche scenarios where very minor errors are actually endearing, and indicate enthusiasm.
“Bob, I saw the posting for your role, can you tell me about your avg day?” is effective because it’s honest, coherent, and just excited enough that you made a minor error that slipped through.
When Bob gets 25 of those emails and they all look the same because AI, it’s much harder to make the connection.
It was a the comma splice, wasn’t it? Depending on Bob’s cohort, he may never notice.
… and if I was receiving notes and questions about a role, an error like “emails” would earn relegation for sure; so be careful which error you leave in.
Teams is bloated garbage.

i never had the “pleasure” to use teams. Is it also replacing outlook? And is it worse somehow than fucking outlook?!
Yes. And yes, kinda.
