Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
Google is discontinuing its email inbox, and instead, users will have to rely on its AI agent. Because, you know, handing over control of your email to a machine is progress. The company claims users want this, but we’ve heard that one before. It’s not like we’ve seen this same “innovation” in other areas, like virtual assistants or smart home devices. Google is just streamlining your email experience, by removing the part where you’re in control.
