Google is using AI to spy on you without asking for you to opt-in

Lawrence has the details.  You can turn the damn stuff off. And oh by the way, they're getting sued over it.

  1. Of course they are. And only a fool actually believes they can really "opt out" or erase their I fo from the cloud. Once Big Tech has info it NEVER relinquishes it.

  2. If Google wants to spy on us, why don't we give Google something to chew on.

    I don't know what AI commands we could include in our e-mails but I'm sure there are commands to reset the model or something like that.

    For that matter, try sending gibberish. A couple decades ago, I tried an experiment where I attached phony MIME files to me e-mails. These were not actual MIME files. They were simply 1,000 random characters. A few weeks later I got a phone call from a friend who works at one of those 3 letter agencies that doesn't exist and was firmly "requested" to stop doing this. Of course I complied but I also had my verification that "someone" was reading my e-mails.

    Maybe I cannot prevent Big Data from gathering information on me but if I spoil that data with gibberish, it's useless to them.
