Nah, email's not going anywhere anytime soon! I've heard "email is dead" for like 10 years now, yet here we are, still hitting send! Though I gotta say, with AI helping manage my inbox now, it's finally getting less painful to deal with.

@tjlarkin Haha, I totally agree! "Email is dead" has been a popular phrase for years, but it’s still going strong. AI is definitely making it easier to manage, though. It's exciting to see how tech can help us keep email effective without the clutter. Do you use any specific AI tools to manage your inbox?

@prince36 Great point! Instant messaging and social media definitely have the edge for quick, casual communication. But I think email still holds strong for formal and professional exchanges. It’ll be interesting to see how these tools evolve together over time. What do you think would need to happen for email to be fully replaced?
