macOS 27 Beta Reworks Mail's Compose Window Around Siri AI

[1st-alex]

There better be a way to turn this "feature" off via a toggle in Mail settings. (Not referring to the feature flag, which would be turned on by default if the feature ships, and which typical, non-developer/QA end users wouldn't know about).

My god, this is sad

What value is your thank you if you didn’t even write it?

This is not the way forward folks.

"Apple appears to be testing a new formatting bar for the Mail app's compose window that promotes Apple Intelligence's Writing Tools and Siri AI"

Instead of "promotes" it seems more like force feeding AI, even if it isn't the default.

The easily amused will love it.

With "A.I." summarizing received emails, and "A.I." composing emails, we can anticipate more meetings where no one has read anything or has any idea what's going on and what's been said.

For folks who are on Gmail (or Google Business with a custom domain), MIMEStream is an awesome gmail-native email client and doesn't have this kind of crap yet. https://mimestream.com/

I never use any software that's subscription based. For $50 per year (USD I'm guessing?) it should be awesome. Thanks for pointing it out though.

That's cool, dude. If you don't want to pay for it, don't pay for it.
