Gmail thinks I'm stupid, so I left

A long-time Gmail user is switching to Fastmail after becoming frustrated with Gmail's aggressive AI features, including unsolicited message summaries, auto-generated replies, and persistent prompts to rewrite drafts that cannot all be disabled without losing other useful features. The author views these intrusive AI tools as disrespectful and a means of artificially inflating usage metrics, feeling that Gmail is implying users lack the capability to write their own emails. After 16 years with Gmail, the user is migrating to Fastmail and their own custom domain for a cleaner email experience.
