There can be a lot of information in an email reply saying "Ok, thank you!", or "Umm, can you explain? what's this?" - in a business setting. I used to send tons of emails like this.
I'm sure Google email suggested replies are a pretty good representation of the most useful of such replies, but I'm wondering if we get to a point where they find certain standing wave functions that can be crystallized into a single click: the thumbs up emoji is probably the best example of this.
Or do you feel that short email replies still rely on a lot of nuance, which would make me think that suggested responses aren't helpful in those cases.

Hmm I think that a short but concise response beats an emoji when actually talking about something meaningful. For FB/insta I don't care.
Like, when it comes to email, but also on for example on GH issues and pull requests. Worst feature GitHub ever added were these emojis. Now all the coding AIs use emojis in their comments and issues and life is awful. ~lol

Emojis in text is pretty bad in a work context and is more often than not a sign of AI
But I do like the reaction emojis. They're a quick concise way to signal things like "agree", "looking into it", "good job" etc
