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.

When I turned that off, the tabs "Updates, Promotions, Social, InBox" were deleted by default. The tabs that existed BEFORE Gemini. #rage

What helped me was clicking Google Workspace smart features and turning off Smart Features just for Google Workspace, which explicitly calls out Gemini usage. I think the other Smart Features mainly applies to auto-sorting emails and promotions? (I’m not positive though)
