If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

I will say this for the Valve announcement: it is refreshing to see a product launch that is just "here's a product that you might want. here's what it is. here's what it does" with absolutely no mention of AI, mysterious future features that might arrive OTA, or some extractive business model.

Where would I point a small team of indie devs to get marketing advice these days? Any consulting folks out there?

sort of incredible to read a review that doesn't just made a vague nod at AI being bad, but actively reckons with the ways in which falling obsessively to AI usage actively obliterates the artistic intent and integrity of the work you've made.

We launched GenExile, our solarpunk city-builder, in Early Access last week. We had ~35k wishlists before launch (not a barnburner but not nothin').
And they said, "Well, there's no way you'll convert literally 0% of your wishlists to sales."
I looked them dead in the eyes and said, "Watch me."
