    I think it's cute how everyone thinks that just by clicking the little opt-out button they're actually going to magically not have already fed your entire email backlog into their massive AI database. 😂

    But hey, scouts honor, if you click that opt-out button they promise never to use any of your new emails in their constant information scape of your life.

    You're probably right, and that's why it is in quotes, but I figured if I can save some people from reading a "there's no readon this is 12 screens long" article I would.

    FWIW I dont use Gmail at all anyway.
