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?).
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.”
It did the same for me but I took it as an opportunity to wisely unsubscribe from all the crap in my gmail
Yes you are wise. I have a couple gifts ordered from companies who have decided to bombard me with spam, but I need to track the order until it arrives and then I can block them.
You can usually unsubscribe from the marketing emails and still get the tracking notifications if you don’t want to wait
Edit: Also the ‘wisely’ was supposed to be ‘finally’ haha autocorrect needs to lay off the whiskey
Just to add to this. Having a unsubscribe link in emails is a common way to trick ppl into clicking links, so if you do not know where the email comes from then just block it.
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.
Yeah have fun with my newsletters, receipts and spam.
Like, literally. I have not sent a private email since 2010 xD
