Over the past few days, social media has been in overdrive with claims that Google is secretly using Gmail data to train its AI models. Posts warning that your emails and attachments are being mined for Gemini’s brainpower have spread like wildfire, accusing the tech giant of quietly tweaking its privacy policy for its own benefit. The alleged fix, according to viral posts, is to turn off Gmail’s “smart features”, like spell check and predictive text, to avoid being part of the AI experiment.
