I tried Gmail's new Gemini AI features, and now I want to unsubscribe

This article reviews Google’s Gemini-powered features in Gmail—including Suggested responses, Help me write, AI Overviews, AI queries in search, Proofread, and the forthcoming AI Inbox—concluding they are not yet useful for the author, with AI Overviews sometimes inaccurate and limited in context. The author emphasizes a desire for smarter, agent-driven message flow control and nuanced filtering rather than AI-generated summaries, notes that disabling smart features also removes essential inbox categories, and maintains that while Google’s security is trusted and MFA/passkeys are used, the current AI capabilities in Gmail fall short of delivering meaningful productivity gains.
