We know they know we know about privacy

Then there is Gmail and Google. Whenever you upload a video to YouTube, you must allow Google's AI to use it as training material as part of the terms of service. For some time, Gmail has allowed its AI to scan every email and attachment you send and receive, including financial documents and other personal information. You can, however, opt out of this process by following the steps below.

To stop this in Gmail, go to your account and click on the little gear icon to open up your Settings, then click on See All Settings. Next scroll down until you see Smart Features. Click on the Turn It Off checkbox then on the Turn Off And Reload button that appears. Repeat the Settings process, then scroll down to Google Workspace Smart Features. Click on the Manage Workspace Smart Features button and in the popup panel and turn off both check-marks, then Save. You are now safe until the next Gmail update when they may reset all your settings, requiring you to do this all over again.
