Basically nothing worth noting has changed, just a bit different layout.

These big companies prolly just got nothing to do but they have to give their people some work I guess. This is not something that’s happening at normal companies, it’s just pointless to burn money changing ordinary aesthetics to a bit different ordinary aesthetics.

And it’s not a small change either, the whole app now follows that slightly tweaked design, a lot of time and effort must’ve been put just to provide something that provides absolutely nothing of value.

    Yeah that exactly, where they separate emails into promotional/social/etc. Outlook does this “Focused Inbox” thing that is obnoxious as well and somehow makes even less sense. Lots of users I supported on help desk got confused by it and couldn’t their emails when it was enabled.

    I already have a difficult enough of a time with my free email provider misclassifying legitimate emails as spam and letting in actual spam than to have them do this again. I already disabled it and they reenable it on the new redesign.

      Ah okay. Yeah that focused thing is able to be turned off by I ignored it at work when we had it. I do know when I would alter spam blocks if an actual email did get blocked that wasn’t supposed to for one of the companies I worked out it was 10’s of thousands of emails it was stopping, and maybe 2 accidental blocks a month, which was pretty impressive. But that wasn’t AI, as that was pre chat gpt and shit.
