Google is so sneaky. This prompt inside Gmail gives you three options. The two most visible options (number 1 is 'Try it now' and number 2 is 'Continue') basically mean 'Enable Gemini AI to write emails.' The third option cancels it which is hidden well. Google, you could do better than this. This is a perfect example of a dark pattern. For those who want AI to write basic emails can enable it but there is not need to do this kind of "shady" stuff.

This is what I call technical debt (not the exact situation but you get the gist of it) from using Gmail everywhere for personal use and projects. Now Google Drive and Gmail are part of my workflow because everyone else I interact with is also hooked into Google ecosystem because of Android phone or tablets, from governments to private citizens/bizness. It is really hard to get rid of them. But, I'm going to do it slowly. I don't want this kind of sneaky biz. The trustworthiness is long gone.
@nixCraft I’m in the same boat. Trying to slowly unplug from all things google
