Overly aggrieved style of writing. There's some prompts in Gmail to use AI. These are supposedly indictments of the author's writing or intellect? Anyway, the setting is in General and then Cmd-F "smart" and turn everything off.

Unfortunately, this also turns off the Primary/Promotions/Social/Updates categorization.

Once done, users still get the...

    "Press / for Help me write" or 
    "Press / to write using your GMail and Drive"
...prompt, crapped onto every new email. Find the lever to disable that; I dare you.

Why do people have to go to this, to turn off the AI slop?

I guess you might need to use AI to summarize the article for you, because he addresses the fact that you can’t turn the intrusive AI off without also turning off some things he finds helpful.
