One of the only "AI" features that I've ever actually found useful was the thing that warned me when I sent an email that was missing an attachment. Basically, it was able to deduce that an attachment was likely missing, and showed me a "are you sure you want to send" prompt.
You don't need AI to check for "Attached"
That is true. You can have check for certain words and phrases that's hardcoded in. However, I have reason to believe the feature I experienced was using an LLM rather than a hardcoded list of search patterns.
I remember Google doing it years ago before LLMs were big things.
Mozilla Thunderbird, too. Saved me so many times.
This is an old feature, it existed long before LLMs. Nothing needs to be hard coded, machine learning is/was advanced enough to do it already.
That was before AI.
The real meaningful use for AI is for things like this.
In Outlook, they're keyword-based. Use words like "attached" or "file" and it will automatically prompt you, regardless of the context.
Of course, I'm sure Microsoft is going to cram copilot into it, so that it stops working sometimes
