In UK, none of the Gmail accounts I use has received this pollution > I am moving all of the software that I pay for to competitors who either do not integrate AI, or allow me to disable it if I wish. The latter sounds safer. The former may add "AI" tomorrow.

I am in the UK. TBC this isn't a gmail.com email address, this is a paid "small business" workspace against a custom domain. Eventually they backtracked and allowed (I think?) all paid customers to disable gemini, but I had already migrated to Fastmail so :shrug:

  Ah. My addresses are @gmail.com. Perhaps the fact you paid got you marked as a likely gull :)

    I think in that case you have even less ability to turn that stuff off? If it's not there for you yet, perhaps it's a slow rollout still?

      Perhaps yes. We'll see :(

Gmail <> Google Workspaces

  Maybe not equal but when I launch Gmail the page says "Google Workspace" and I get Gmail, Docs etc. as per https://workspace.google.com/intl/en_uk/resources/what-is-workspace/ https://workspace.google.com/intl/en_uk/resources/what-is-wo... .

    Google has always released to Workspaces and Gmail separately. In this case the Gemini button is in Workspaces (because they’re a paid tier) but not yet Gmail.
