Has anyone else noticed an AI summary popping up at the beginning of their yahoo.com emails? Are these summaries showing up in other email providers (Gmail, etc.)? Is there any pattern behind which type of emails (business, personal, mass mail, etc.) contain these AI summaries?

I find it disconcerting that my personal emails are being routinely harvested by yet another, more advanced fishing net.

This unwelcomed and uninvited intrusion on personal privacy is only the latest example of the ongoing loss in online privacy, which is already sorely challenged. While privacy on the internet is a rapidly diminishing commodity, this AI intrusion is somewhat alarming. Should we now simply assume that all our emails are simply food for the data-hungry tech firms who are continually looking for more personal information they can sell to the highest bidder? 1984 was written as fiction, are we seeing its realization in real time?

Hope someone comes up with a block for all this AI crap

If you had bothered to check, you would know how to turn it off!

I almost became angry with my ex wife for an email she sent, until I realized the portion that bothered me was the AI summary.

We use chat at work. If I don’t read them right away, AI gives me a summary. I hate that

You might not want AI, but AI wants you and all your data.

They were already doing that. How do you think spam filtering works (poorly, but still). Plus Yahoo has that “Priority” view, which I hate because it’s always wrong (where’s that @$#% email, oh click on All). The only thing that changed is now they’re doing it in a way you notice.
