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.

Gmail's search and filters have been annoying for some time now. This feels like an overpowered bandaid to that problem

"Annoying" is extremely generous. I have to use it for work and it's a fucking nightmare. I can type in the exact text of the subject of an email and it's nowhere to be found.
