@BleepingComputer Are the "AI-powered message replies" going to identify as such? I can see negatives both ways:

> Okay, I'm ready for dinner. Meet me at the restaurant at 5
> I can't wait to see what you wear! (THIS MESSAGE WAS SENT AUTOMATICALLY BY OpenAI o3-mini)

> Hey, I'm going to need everyone to stop by 15 minutes before the end of the day for a mandatory HR meeting
> I can't wait to see what you wear!

@BleepingComputer (And that's assuming it doesn't train on the user's messages to his friends about what he thinks of mandatory all-hands meetings...)
