Without reading, I bet it’s about training AI on your emails.
Guys, it’s about training AI on your emails.
Actually, it’s about a guy tweeting that it’s about training AI on your emails. It doesn’t look like anything like that is mentioned in the actual text describing the features themselves.
This is a good example of why jumping to burn-the-witch conclusions “without reading” is perhaps a bad idea.
This sentence buried in Gmail’s settings seems to imply it’s what is happening by default:
Even if you turn off smart features in Gmail, Chat, and Meet, some smart features with individual on and off settings are still available. These features don’t use opted-out user data to improve the models that power them.
Amazing, you must be like… some kind of AI!
How to opt out:
Step 1: Turn off Smart Features in Gmail, Chat, and Meet settings
- Open Gmail on your desktop or mobile app.
- Click the gear icon → See all settings (desktop) or Menu → Settings (mobile).
- Find the section called Smart Features in Gmail, Chat, and Meet. You’ll need to scroll down quite a bit.
- Uncheck it.
- Scroll down and hit Save changes if on desktop.
Step 2: Turn off Google Workspace Smart Features
- Still in Settings, locate Google Workspace smart features.
- Click on Manage Workspace smart feature settings.
- You’ll see two options: Smart features in Google Workspace and Smart features in other Google products.
- Toggle both off.
- Save again in this screen.
