I’ve been struggling with how to word my stance on AI with regard to my email service, Port87. Today I sat down and compiled some research to quantify my stance on it, and why I won’t be using it.

What made me want to do this now more than ever is the recent announcement that Gmail will now use AI to read your email and give you a summary instead of just showing you your email. You know, because human beings can’t be bothered to decide whether an email is important without an AI risking their security to tell them they need to pick up their dog from the vet.
