So I submitted some issues in a github project in the "this will be necessary eventually" a couple years ago, and froze them.

Well, now I need 'em and it's time to act.

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.
