Sounds simple.

Does Simple Mail have POP3 access? Guessing it doesn't.

From the registration page:

You need to link a Gmail address during registration and verify it.
The password is a randomly generated 19-character string, which will be sent to your Gmail address after registration.
You can reset your password on the Password Reset page. The new password will also be a randomly generated 19-character string and sent to your Gmail address.

Quite unusual, to put it politely.

While I am not in favor at all of "big tech", I must say Gmail has been rock solid for the almost 20 years I've been using it. I would consider Gmail a truly reliable service. Not all "big tech" is bad per default.

The ONLY thing I find annoying about Gmail, is that when you use it via the Gmail app on Android phones, you are also automatically logged in to other Google services such as YouTube. When I log into a webmail account, I prefer to be logged in only in that webmail account. However, when I log into Gmail via a browser on my laptop, it does not log me in automatically into other Google services, so alltogether it's OK

Also, Gmail supports Yubikey, which I consider the best form of 2FA. Granted, Outlook supports it too, but I don't know if other huge providers do so.
The spam filters of Gmail are also working very good, I rarely had any spam in my inbox, and very rarely a reliable email ended up in Spam per mistake.

So big tech or not, Gmail is a very solid provider in my opinion.

Is this an argument for or against the service?

This response is not emotional, just a statement of thought.
AI writing code would be cool, wouldn't it?

I try to avoid AI, although I realise there's no way to totally avoid it as it becomes omnipresent.

Let's just say I have more faith in apps or services made by humans.

Also, I'd never write an email or text with AI. It takes all emotions out of it. Imagine a love letter, job application letter, etc written in AI? Where is the emotion in that? Even if I have to write in a language I speak well but not perfectly (such as French), I prefer writing myself with a few spelling mistakes here and there, instead of having AI writing it for me.

So when it comes to apps, services online, etc ... I know avoiding AI totally is impossible, but the more human input the more I'll trust the app or service. Machines and technology are not flawless. I'm not saying humans are flawless, but I still have more faith in that. AI is after all very rapidly developing, but it's very frequent use is still relatively new, so I know there are still flaws in it (and probably that will never change).

Not in my view.

How do you unambiguously define precisely how a program is meant to work, to an AI? You could argue that the only way to do that is by giving the AI a program to read that already does it ...

Most people if writing instructions to the AI will not be precise / analytical enough in their natural language. Suppose the AI was trained on US English; will it also understand the exact same thing in other forms of idiomatic English?

How do you check what it produced actually does what you want?


Some of the problems I've seen include: code that would not work, won't compile, doesn't solve the stated problem but instead what the AI hoped you meant, mixes dialects of languages up.

^^This^^ Never a major problem in almost 20 years of using the same address. Best spam control in the business. My main complaint is their absolutely Byzantine security options and actions in practice. For example, yes they offer the ability to use a security key like the Yubikey, but they require you to also have a phone number and recovery email, as well as backup codes. And, in practice, I have found they often resort to sending an SMS to your account phone, regardless of what settings you have. I have also encountered times when they only offer one possible 2FA option, and if you click "try another way" they don't let you try another way. I almost lost access once when they would only send codes to an old phone number I no longer had access to and had previously been removed from my account.
