AI summaries: not as great as they're made out to be

In most cases, the AI does not go completely bonkers and hallucinate something that has no resemblance to the correct response whatsoever. You can skim its response and see if any of the keywords look interesting to you, and if not, then the email probably wasn't very interesting.

Personally, I don't actually do this. I skim subject lines instead, because it is significantly less work and is easier for senders to override (by writing something as simple as "[action required]" in the subject line - note this is my *work* email, not my personal email, so most of the time some action really is required on my part).
