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.
What if it’s always on and only available to the user if you turn it on? What if it’s always generating info for Google and there’s nothing you can do but stop using Google products?
