I have yet to see any of these news sites show evidence that this setting is for allowing training with your data. That’s not what the setting itself says, it seems like this is just a panicked ripple of clickbait titles sweeping rapidly across social media on a wave of AI dopamine.

So glad I switched email and calender services years ago.
I opened GMail and it specifically asked me to give consent in a descriptive/onboarding popover. Declining was choosing one of the two options. I’m in EU, it may be different elsewhere (title and article about US?).

Like, literally. I have not sent a private email since 2010 xD
I tried this and was no longer able to separate my email into Primary Updates and Promotions, and I started getting pings for every stupid ad. So I put it back. I think I’ll start sending weird emails to myself; “teach your kids (the AI) to talk wrong.”
I think we should stay and teach it to swear. A lot. I want it to casually throw things like “fuckery” and “suck start a shotgun” into business emails.
