Gmail Thinks Im Stupid, So I Left

General News

Summary

The author says Gmail’s AI-generated summaries, draft replies, and writing prompts became intrusive and disrespectful. Those experiences pushed the author to leave Gmail after 16 years and begin migrating to Fastmail. The migration includes connecting a custom domain and setting up aliases, with contacts likely to be imported later. The piece frames the move as a rejection of unwanted AI features and user-hostile product design.
