Big tech PMs have been chomping at the bit to turn email from a chronological feed into a social media style algorithm for years. Nobody wants this. Most people actively hate the idea of this. But there's way more money to be made from ads in an algorithmic inbox (where they control the priority of world communication) vs. a fully user-controlled one. You can bet Apple emails will always get the priority flag in Apple Mail! So inbox providers are going to be sneakily adding this kind of crap branded under the hype banner of "AI," and we're all going to be worse off for it. Very few people pay for email, so you should be very very suspicious when a monopolist voluntarily rolls out "improvements" for you. It's far more likely those "improvements" will show up on their balance sheet than yours.
