How do I opt out?

Read the article...

Change email providers.

First thing that popped up when accessing gmail.com. Two toggles.

Abbreviated version from article:

How to opt out

Opting out requires you to change settings in two places. To fully opt out, you must turn off Gmail’s “Smart features” in two separate locations in your settings.

Step 1: Turn off Smart Features in Gmail, Chat, and Meet settings

Step 2: Turn off Google Workspace Smart Features
