alt Hacker NewsHow hard would have been to add a simple message, warning people about it and offering to opt out? Most would have clicked OK without reading anyway, and Google could pretend they give a shit about users. Unless they expected blowback, and that kind of message is the "compromise" they want to eventually land on.

I think a local AI model is appreciated, but it being bundled and executed through Chrome, I expect that more or less all data get exfiltrated by Google.
They simply read your mails, how would you expect there to be anything resembling decency in a company like that? It is the ad business.
Bad thing is that people still use gmail.

Because we must get what the tech overlords want us to get, not what we want to get.
They don't want you to opt out. Then they can't brag to the shareholders about Chrome being "AI Powered"
You're not even the customer when it comes to Google.
