If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

All caveats apply: blurriness of fields’ boundaries, clumsy search function, etc. But I did my best! If I inadvertently omitted you or you’d like to be added (or removed, for that matter), lemme know!
