some middle-manager-flavored "juice the KPIs" bullshit just hit my gmail inbox, shoving an "AI" summary in my face

#UblockOrigin selector that will zap the entire feature from existence, should anyone else find use of it:

mail.google.com##div[data-id*="kopisummary"]

thanks but no thanks, google, I know how to read and write and quite like doing it

@SnoopJ I have the "smart features" (AI crap) flag disabled in my work Google account—it applies across all products, I think. (Or at least the GMail settings are all subordinate to it.)

@timmc I thought I had everything turned off, but maybe I don't. I definitely took a pass at some point in the past, and if they're going to ignore clear user intents from settings just to falsify their books and do a lil more consumer fraud to keep the grift going, I can adapt and more aggressively handle it

@timmc yea, looks like a bunch of junk was switched on for me.

thanks for letting me know, I'll feel marginally less-bad that my account isn't part of the fraudulent activity

@SnoopJ I'm just surprised my employer hasn't force-enabled "smart features" for all employees. Probably just a matter of time.
