Turns out this was all much ado about nothing and Google isn’t using your Gmail to train AI and if wanna turn all that stuff back on you can get your spam filters back
Looks like the article has been updated to suggest maybe they misread the policy.
I see people complaining that this also disabled their spam filters, though I still see new messages showing up in spam so it's still working fine for me after disabling things.

[Correction] Gmail can read your emails and attachments to power "smart features"
Did you know that Gmail can use your emails and attachments for its smart features? Here's how to check your settings.

OMG please, can we please just have one person say something to him? "What the fuck is wrong with you?" or "You sound like an idiot when you talk like that." or "That's not how math works." Just one person.
while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

Being forced to learn about Olivia Nuzzi reminds me of those terrible months where every time I turned around, someone insisted on telling me that Nick Cannon had another child.

Shout out to everyone completely demoralized about the state of the world who still manages to get out of bed each morning.
And shout out to you, too if you’re still in bed. This shit is hard. Talk to your friends and neighbors. They’re going though it too, which is both terrifying and comforting.

Someone help me remember. I just introduced my husband to the song "Teddy Bears' Picnic," which was used in some piece of media to creepy effect. And I cannot remember what it was. I think it was an orchestral version?

Jesus, I just got violently wrenched backwards in time as every single one of these songs began playing in my head.
People need to stop retconning literally the worst era in American popular music history into something it wasn't, just because there were also some amazing records that like 250 people happened to be hunting down and listening to
