Thanks Ants posted:Am I unfairly cynical about ~*AI*~? I was watching this and it just seems like a system to pad emails out by including things that the person you're messaging already knows, because they wrote the message. The purpose of repeating stuff that was in the message you're replying to is that it signals to the recipient that you actually read their message and are interested in what they're saying, rather than blowing them off with a form response. But it will lose that effect pretty quickly once ai form responses that mimic it become commonplace.

even if they've never worked with physical documents and manila folders before, most human beings have an intuitive understanding of a physical item that can only be in one place at a time. if you try to actually build a system entirely around tagging and forego giving things a canonical location at all, it's just hard for people to understand, especially when it comes to things like deleting and making copies.

Concretely: Google Drive tried to ditch the "one canonical location" concept and have things live in many locations at the same time, and it didn't work. They had to go back to having one location for each file. I've never heard of a situation where having a concrete real-world metaphor made something more difficult to explain.

Also requires whoever's distributing these files to actually sign them, which is a bunch of work on their part for a very unclear benefit to them, so it's unlikely to happen.
