its absolutely wild to give an LLM write access to your email

Depends what it is. A test system wouldn't be a concern to give it write access. If its not logged into any of my accounts I would even be happy to give it internet access, not to anything else on my LAN though.

I thought 'wow they made very effective inefficiency machine to push tokenmaxxing to not only limited to programmers'

That can theoretically be done with read only access

Really? That's a surprising find. Bcz all of the search features I used to use got significantly worse once LLMs were introduced.

They said write access, not read
