Here's how to turn off "smart features" in Gmail. As of this week, it is on by default and explicitly allows Google to use your emails to feed its AI. bsky.app/profile/them...
you do have to do it in a couple of places but this tutorial makes it easy to go uncheck the boxes that otherwise lets Google's AI read all your shit. or move everything over to protonmail but moving everything over is a giant thing I know.
