KEY POINTS
- •Sam Leffell, a hedge fund manager, tried Google's Gemini AI earlier this year and became a fan of the Gmail Polish feature.

- •After turning off his $20 monthly Gemini subscription, Sam found the Polish button vanished, highlighting its high value to him.
Meet Sam Leffell, a hedge fund honcho who's so obsessed with AI that he gambled on Google's Gemini AI and a Gmail feature called Polish—yes, the one improving emails with just 12 words or more. Press Alt+H on Windows or Option+H on Mac, and Gmail pretends to be your English teacher. But plot twist: Sam canceled his $20-a-month Gemini subscription because ChatGPT smokes Gemini in email wizardry. Bam! The polish button vanished from his Gmail like magic, forcing Sam to shell out more to keep his emails sparkling. $20 a month for smoother emails? Sam says it's 'so valuable' he literally pays for a button, proving sometimes digital convenience costs more than a dinner date in Manhattan.
