PHYSIX OBSERVATION
Giving an AI assistant its own email turns it from a conversational tool into an entity that can send and receive mail externally. This means AI is beginning to have an identity that external systems can recognize, so registration, ordering, and outreach no longer depend on the user forwarding messages. But the official rules on email permission boundaries and abuse risks have yet to be made clear, and this is worth continued attention.
