Basically, Google thinks everyone is dumb by adding extra, helpful features to GMail, many of which are opt-in. Google thinks we're lazy, not stupid... and it's right. GMail that can write my e-mail for me? Where do I sign up?!
To actually address her point, GMail isn't assuming its users are brainless cabbages, they're merely allowing you to reallocate your time & brainpower to more important things.
