While I would consider this feature to be helpful, I’m still a bit hesitant to introduce more AI into my day-to-day life. At least, I want AI features to be optional tools that I can disable at my discretion. In this case, it appears that Gmail’s AI search tool will be optional. You will have the freedom to select the classic Most recent search filter, and sift through messages yourself.
Gmail’s search and filters have been annoying for some time now. This feels like an overpowered bandaid to that problem
Enabling this feature will probably require you to agree to Google AI training on your emails.
I’m sure you’ve already agreed by continuing to use Gmail.
Even if you haven’t they have been using your email for all kinds of purposes the whole time. Training is just the most recent.
I dont even mind this too much yet still I want to switch off from gmail. If google decided to suspend my account for some reason I would be completely fucked. Even if you love google you still should switch off from using their services because there is a chance you might lose access to them in the future if this world goes even more off its rocker.
Gmail is a messaging platform that optionally supports email, change my mind.
I already to to DuckDuckGo to search for medical stuff and other things I don’t need Google knowing. Their search results aren’t bad especially compared to current Google.
Gemini is already in my mother’s gmail, so far she’s avoided the bloody thing.
