Some Gmail Users Now Will Get AI Email Summaries Automatically
Don't want AI to summarize your Gmail messages? You might see it anyway. Some Gmail app users soon will see AI-generated summaries of their emails, according to a Google blog post on Thursday.
Gmail users with paid Workspace accounts and accounts with Google AI Premium subscriptions will see the summaries in the Gmail app on Android and iOS. Previously, users had to tap the "summarize this email" button at the top of their phone screen for the AI summary, but now, the summaries will just appear. Some users may be already seeing the changes, but it could take up to 15 days to roll out to all users.
In the AI email summary, Gemini will provide bullet points of all the key aspects of the email and will update the summary with any subsequent replies to the email thread. The summaries will only be available for emails in English, as of now.
The summaries will occur automatically "where a summary is helpful, such as longer email threads or messages with several replies," according to Google.
Users can disable the automatic AI summaries, but doing that will also disable other smart features such as high-priority notifications, package tracking, Smart Compose, Smart Reply, and nudges.
It's all part of Google's latest plan to get users to interact further with Gemini, its AI-powered assistant. Last year, Google enabled Gemini in the side panel of Gmail to summarize email threads, get help drafting an email, see suggested responses to an email thread, and other features.
Gemini is also available in the side panel of Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, and Drive.
If you don't want Gemini in your Gmail at all. CNET has a guide to disabling it.

And with that, an era ends: 'Thanks for watching us. It's the NBA on TNT'
Ernie Johnson could barely get the words out. The run of 'Inside the NBA' on TNT came to an end on Saturday night, after nearly four decades as a fixture of the league. The show will move to ESPN and ABC next season — and keep Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley together, still doing most shows from Atlanta — but the final TNT sign-off was an emotional one.

Colby Thorndyke drives in 6, sparks late-inning barrage in Coastal Carolina's 18-7 win over ECU
CONWAY, S.C. (AP) — Colby Thorndyke hit a grand slam to break a seventh-inning tie and finished with six RBIs as Coastal Carolina routed East Carolina 18-7 on Saturday night, sending the Chanticleers to the championship round of their super regional. The Chanticleers, batting as the visiting team, scored 14 runs in the last three innings. Advertisement Coastal Carolina trailed 5-4 heading to the seventh inning, then Sebastian Alexander belted a lead-off home run to tie it. The Chanticleers loaded the bases on a single, an error and a hit batter, setting the stage for Thorndyke. He belted the first pitch over the right-field fence for a 9-5 lead. Two outs later, Caden Bodine's two-run double capped the six-run inning and Coastal Carolina led 10-5. Alexander added a two-run single to highlight a five-run eighth inning that gave CCU a 15-5 lead. Thorndyke added an RBI single in the ninth and scored on Blagen Pado's two-run home run. No. 3 seed East Carolina will play second-seeded Florida in an elimination game Sunday. That winner will need to beat Coastal Carolina later Sunday and again on Monday to reach the super regionals. The top-seeded host Chanticleers would advance with one win. Alexander drove in four runs and Pado three. Both had four hits, as did Thorndyke. Advertisement Dixon Williams and Austin Irby each had a home run, three hits and two RBIs for the Pirates. Jack Herring had four hits. Matthew Potok (3-1) got the win. Brad Pruett (5-6) took the loss. ___ AP college sports: The Associated Press
