I definitely think it takes a huge amount of naivety at best to willingly work for Google or any of the other Big Tech companies. Nevermind they do all they can to get rid of any distinction between a "work-life" and a "home-life." Work at any of these places and you're working to build the shackles making everyone a slave to.. Corporations? The State? As the past few years have shown would the distinction even matter 5, 10, or more years down the line? (Or even now, for that matter).

If nothing else, if it is a glorified text-generator then I would not doubt it gets rolled out eventually as some sort of "virtual assistant", counselor, you name it. Just look at how people are taking to the very rudimentary chatbot-cum-"virtual gf" apps. You have people telling all to those despite any usage eventually showing they're just "robots." Imagine the data-monetization possibilities when the illusion becomes more and more indistinguishable from the real thing! 🤑

*edit: Oh, and it probably won't be just a confidant. Imagine having your own personal assistant that's always there. Helping you get enough sleep, making sure you reach "your goals." Helping you reach the apex of peak physical health. Helping you optimize your carbon footprint. ("I noticed you ate 2lb of meat today, to help you ethically reach your protein goal for the month let's have Nutri-bars for the rest of the week 🙂")[spoiler: This probably won't be a suggestion]
