Punked: Google Tests Robot To Chat With Friends For You

• https://www.technocracy.news, By The Guardian (UK)

Are you tired of the constant need to tap on a glass keyboard just to keep up with your friends? Do you wish a robot could free you of your constant communication obligations via WhatsApp, Facebook or text messages? Google is working on an AI-based auto-reply system to do just that.

Google's experimental product lab called Area 120 is currently testing a new system simply called Reply that will work with Google's Hangouts and Allo, WhatsAppFacebook Messenger, Android Messages, Skype, Twitter direct messages and Slack.

Reply aims to take the smart AI-based suggested replies that are available in Google's Gmail and Allo apps to the next level. In an email test sent to volunteers, acquired by Android Police, Area 120 says: "You probably get a lot of chat messages. And you want to be there for people, but also for people in the real world. What if replying were literally one tap away?"
