Just what you have always wanted. Hardly any need to type text anymore it seems https://www.ghacks.net/2025/05/01/gmails-new-feature-lets-you-react-to-emails-with-emojis/
Next our AI helper can respond directly to incoming AI-generated email with AI-generated emojis. The AI agents will flourish, leaving us with more time to do important things as we no longer have to even look at email!
Yet they, and all other "respond with emoji" options, fail to provide enough negative options. Here I'm thinking perhaps a middle finger - at the lower end of the scale...
Outlook has something similar for a year or so. I rarely use it, thought there were instances when i.e. someone that some improvement was done in a tool that I and hundreds of other people use internally at company and announced by someone that I don't know. It seems appriopriate in those narrow circumstances as it doesn't flood of e-mails from unknown people but shows some positive reaction in aggregate.
