i am not alt texting this, copied and pasted multiple tweets today
EDIT according to the message relay from doubledealer this message is incorrect
That info is from November.
Ninja edit. In November - I turned off all the AI stuff. I just checked and it's all still off.
They're still reading it 100%. Stop using Gmail if you don't want to give your data to AI.
The infuriating thing is that they shove that shit into pre-existing features so opting out will break your email setup
Yep, back in November, I opted out. This made Gmail put 55k advertising/spam emails in my primary/only inbox (it stops categorizing). I spent a week manually unsubscribing from every business I've ever bought an item from in my life. But my inbox is at 0 unread and I don't get much spam anymore. It sucked, but I guess I'm glad I did it.
Gmail's entire existence is predicated on reading all your emails. For marketing, for spying, and of course they surely "accidentally" threw it into every model they've ever wanted to.
But they're gonna do it anyway
It's the unpowered beg button of cybersecurity
I use workspace to manage email for myself and my kids. They make it easy enough for a dumbass like myself. I started a long time ago for reasons and have just been there because it's easy enough.
I have to find a less invasive place to take email, files, photos, and the deal w the domain stuff because I don't know domain stuff. I'm also lazy. And and app would be nice because idc about setting all the stuff up anymore I just want it to work.
But im going to find it and disable it for all three of us. Thanks.
It’s all spam anyway

Google is a terrible company and has countless crimes to pay for, don't need to manufacture anything else or scare people needlessly.
If you had a negative reaction to the idea though, you should probably still switch email providers. As others are saying, it's just a matter of time before Google does get more aggressive pushing AI, abusing your data, and drowning you in more shit.
Updating accounts and migrating email from accounts that are over 20 years old sucked ass, but it feels great to be out of Google, save for YouTube.

Just checked mine. Neither were on.
