Gmail Auto Pilot?

Today as I was signing into my gmail account, a new notification popped up:


Gmail AutopilotTM by CADIE

Email will never be a thing of the past, but actually reading and writing messages is about to be. Gmail Autopilot automatically manages your inbox better than you can, with zero effort from you. Learn more »

Keep in touch
Brand-new CADIE technology enables Autopilot to scan every one of your incoming messages and automatically send the perfect reply.

Manage relationships
Impress everyone with your prompt and insightful responses to everything from urgent notes from your boss to cute messages from your significant other.

Match your style
Autopilot calibrates for tone, typos and preferred punctuation. It's just like you, but automated.
So wait? Now I don't even have to write back to people when they email me? Even my significant other?? PHEW! Thanks Gmail!!! To take it back to the 90's....
NOT!!!!
This is so creepy!! Never the less, I am still curious as to how this works! And it opens so many doors-Now if someone is offended by an email they receive from me, I can blame it on Gmail Auto Pilot... And all those obligatory emails I have to send out? Done and done- gmail can mimic my writing style, right down to the Emoticons. This is very "Jetsons". I must admit as a child I looked forward to the year 2000 because I thought cars would be folding into briefcases. Not so- it's 2009 and I don't have to respond to email.
This is progress.
