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.

I think the interview went well! a code review of my assignment and they started out of the gate by saying it was really strong and they only had at most nitpick comments, so it ended up mostly being a conversation where I got to flex my knowledge/experience behind my decisions lol
today, instead of preparing for my interview tomorrow, I wrote a single-page quick rules reference for a dead card game
i wonder why i can't get a job

i think that people who use headphones in public places like trains are selfish. keeping all your cool music and podcasts to yourself is genuinely sociopathic and deranged behavior. play it on your phone's speaker and let everyone enjoy it, or don't play it at all

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.
