EDIT: The Malwarebytes article has been updated:

"After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case."

This confusion could've been easily avoided if Google was more clear in how they communicate with their users.

PSA to anyone who uses Gmail!

"Reportedly, Google has recently started automatically opting users in to allow Gmail to access all private messages and attachments for training its AI models. This means your emails could be analyzed to improve Google’s AI assistants, like Smart Compose or AI-generated replies. Unless you decide to take action."

@stefan I will have to examine that.

Cannot deactivate those buttons.

@Bugspriet @stefan I think that's because the larger Smart setting is turned off, so all of it is turned off which you can see if you scroll down (it's like this in my settings). I think in Europe all this crap is turned off by default because without active consent Google would be violating EU law a thousand ways.
