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.

1. We wait for the NTSB.
2. The primary coverage right now is about injuries on the ground.
3. They will find every possible piece of the wreck. It will tell a story. The investigators, almost all gov’t employees, are some of the best in the world at this.
4. The engines are a critical focus.

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained.
