I have used Gmail for many years, but lately they're really pushing the AI crap that I absolutely, 100%, do not want. If a friend and I are emailing casually about yarn, I do not want this:
No! None of that! I didn't mind so much when it wanted to suggest answers (although, why was it always trying to get me to reply "Indeed, it is the only thing that does"?), but this is a bridge too far.
I tried to figure out how to turn it off, but the setting I changed took away the Important and Unread category at the top of the inbox, so I was getting notifications for every single email that came in. I don't want an alert when CVS sends me a new offer, or The Athletic wants to highlight a story, or the Boston Globe sends a Breaking News Alert (that is about the Patriots ~50% of the time).
I like the setup the way it is, but of course they can't just leave it that way, can they? And yet, whose email provider doesn't use AI these days?
I'm getting a lot of that crap too. I can write my own emails and Facebook messages!
