  You have been automatically OPTED IN to allow Gmail to access all your private messages & attachments to train AI models.

  “Feature”

  I'm not seeing where any of this gives Google permission to train AI using your data. As far as I can see it's all about using AI to manage your data, which is a completely different thing. The word "training" appears to originate in Dave Jones' tweet, not in any of the Google pages being quoted. Is there any confirmation that this is actually happening, and not just a social media panic?

    Not that I’ve seen, no.

  On the web UI they sneakily slide in the Gemini icon exactly where the settings icon is after about 2 seconds of loading the page which caught me out for the first account I was updating. Really annoying.

  I’m honestly kinda surprised that Google is apparently not in fact doing this already and (according to the comments here) continues to not do so.

  Did I miss the part where they link how to opt out?

  Be aware that disabling this also disables categories in your email. It really sucks that they tied those together. But I need to get away from gmail anyway…
