my computer is smarter than i am but it should mind it's own business

i just sent an email, and after clicking "send," gmail asked me if i indeed wanted to send the message without an attachment. it had noticed that i had written, "i have included" in the text, but that i had not attached anything. i didn't want to attach anything, nosy-pants computer.

ok - the truth is that i am impressed with this simple kind of technology. i would love for my computer to proofread ALL my emails and ask if i really wanted to send them as is - " are you sure you want to declare love to this person?", it could ask me
or,
" i would suggest listing something more unique than 'driving' as a special talent on your resume". all this would have been helpful advice in my past.

for me it would be "are you sure you need to check your email again? it's only be five minutes since the last time."

they also have a feature that prompts the computer, after 2 am, to ask you if you are sure you want to send the mail.
maybe it has a breathalyzer
