I did this (disabled AI features) and lost smart inbox and it honestly improved the experience: it made me realise how much rubbish I was subscribed to that I never read, so I unsubbed and blocked tons of stuff, and now my inbox is clear again

I should try that, i can't ever predict what ends up in some promotions folder or not ... it feels arbitrary.

Are you me? I went through the exact same steps a few months ago. My Google experience is 100% AI free now.

Same. I feel like I have control of my inbox again.
