While I would consider this feature to be helpful, I’m still a bit hesitant to introduce more AI into my day-to-day life. At least, I want AI features to be optional tools that I can disable at my discretion. In this case, it appears that Gmail’s AI search tool will be optional. You will have the freedom to select the classic Most recent search filter, and sift through messages yourself.

Until they quietly turn it on by default after the initial news had cooled down
What if it’s always on and only available to the user if you turn it on? What if it’s always generating info for Google and there’s nothing you can do but stop using Google products?
Gmail’s search and filters have been annoying for some time now. This feels like an overpowered bandaid to that problem

Solution looking for a problem
Enabling this feature will probably require you to agree to Google AI training on your emails.
I’m sure you’ve already agreed by continuing to use Gmail.
Even if you haven’t they have been using your email for all kinds of purposes the whole time. Training is just the most recent.
