I followed these steps to get annoying AI off Gmail account.
If you use Gmail, you need to know that there's a Google AI reading your emails right now. Contracts, bank statements, medical reports, everything. It turned itself on, without asking your permission, and you probably don't even know it's active. It's not just Gmail: it also analyzes your Google Meet meetings and your chats. Here's how to turn it off, in 2 steps that almost nobody completes 👇

I was sad to read of the death of the poet Douglas Dunn. A quiet voice, always a resonant one, probably still best known for his first mature poetry collection 'Terry Street', 1969, but 'Elegies', 1985, stands one of the great collections of the late 20th Century.
