This should really be at the top of the page and not one full screen below the "Try" button.

It's insane how we're throwing out decades of security research because it's slightly annoying to have to write your own emails.

Nothing new. We've allowed humans to use computers for ages.

Security-wise, this is closer to "human substitute" than it is to a "browser substitute". With all the issues of letting a random human have access to critical systems, on top of all the early AI tech jank. We've automated PEBKAC.
