So can , the difference being that they won't use it to form a psychological profile of you in an attempt to manipulate your behavior.

@arstechnica Just the other week I looked into switching away from Gmail after almost 20 years (mostly using it with Thunderbird, however). This news gives me a feeling of validation.

You're telling me google is allowed to read my private e-mail? 😱

@arstechnica glad I moved all my domains off gmail years ago.

If long, & mailing list, I WILL read it. Just not first thing Mon AM, little busy. If I didn’t want their take on things, I wouldn’t be subscribed!

If long, & from human, should read in entirety - have colleagues worldwide, AI summaries good way to fuck up by missing actual intent.

If long, from human to me, I abs must read in full.

This just makes easier to fall over my own words, or summary of them on other end.

@arstechnica we had those, they never work, because they don't really solve problem that actually exists.

@arstechnica just tell me the prompt that went into all of the machine-generated trash that's filling my inbox.

@arstechnica Will be especially useful for abhorrently long auto-generated e-mails, probably created by an opposite GMail feature.
