@mading.thok: You've probably seen the post: Google secretly opted you in to let AI train on your private emails. That claim is wrong. Google said directly: "These reports are misleading, we have not changed anyone's settings, Gmail Smart Features have existed for many years, and we do not use your Gmail content for training our Gemini AI model." Malwarebytes, which first amplified the story, published a correction. But read that denial carefully, because it's about training. Training and reading are not the same thing: • TRAINING = your emails become part of what the model learns from. Google says no • READING = AI processes your email right now to sort it, summarize it, suggest replies. This does happen. That's what Smart Features are Also real: a class action filed in November 2025 alleged Google switched these from opt-in to on-by-default. Google disputed it, and a court dismissed the case in July 2026. To turn it off (two places, which is why people miss it): 1. Gmail on a computer > gear icon > See all settings 2. General tab > scroll to Smart features > uncheck it 3. Click "Manage Workspace smart feature settings" 4. Turn both off, then Save 5. Labels shift over time. Look for "smart features and personalization" Honest warning: you'll lose Smart Compose, automatic inbox categorization, and package tracking cards. That's a real trade, not a free win. Be as skeptical of the viral warning as you are of the company. #AIPrivacy #Gmail #DigitalPrivacy #MadingThok #PrivacyTipsYou've probably seen the post: Google secretly opted you in to let AI train on your private emails.
