I just had a user asking me to allow claude to have complete access to his Microsoft mailbox. I told him no since sensitive mails are often sent to the entire company including discussions concerning projects etc.
He went silent and then said … "but how do you use your mail then ?"
I had to explain to him that we old people used mail for decades without the use of an AI telling us what someone mailed.
He was genuinely baffled how you can just open Outlook and read a mail without asking Claude what someone had sent.
I see more and more of this type of thing.
Users have never understood much or been capable of achieving anything left unsupervised, but AI has certainly made it worse. And it’s only downhill from here in that respect.
