If you're using Gmail, you're trusting Google with your data, which is already such a terrible conflict of interest for Google that I can't imagine being surprised that they're training AI on your data too.

Opting out isn't going to do anything. Google will happily violate your privacy anyway and pay the fine ten years from now. They've done it before, and only a fool would think they won't do it again.

Some of us have literal decades of data that is very difficult to move off of Google.

Just because I still use it doesn't mean I trust Google.
