Sure it can output .ics but the question is, would you trust it to manage your calendar? To get every single meeting right?
Software at its core is a precision tool. When it goes wrong it was either made wrong or you used it wrong. But ML introduces another layer for which the software maker doesn’t want to take responsability, and you the user have no idea if you’re using it right. When it fails there’s “nobody to blame” yet you’re the one left holding the bag.
With fundamentally flawed software like this (ambiguous by design) it’s fun to play (especially if it seems to make sense 80-90% of the time), but it really sucks to have to depend on it for actually important stuff.
I just reckon that double-checking every single meeting because you can’t trust the “assistant” could get old eventually. 🙂
And if it does get it wrong, then what? Repeat the prompt in a slower voice? We know that song and dance from Siri and Alexa and it’s already annoying.

If I can double check the output before I hit send, sure.
