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 love how the Hitman games go out of their way to point out that your targets are all morally terrible people to settle the player’s conscience, then for the DLC they’re now just like “F*ck it, let’s kill Eminem”

Of all the absurd ways of assassinating your targets in Hitman, a distinct omission from my bingo card was “put on a scarecrow costume and magically incinerate anyone within 20 feet of you in a deranged homage to 1973’s The Wicker Man”.

When I arrive at the party
11 days ago, I turned 37.
10,000 days before that (exactly), I watched Scotland play their last match in a men’s World Cup.

I was 15 the last time Scotland was in a World Cup.
I'll be 43 the next time it happens.
I'm floods of tears. I'm so happy

Yep, why not score a goal from your own half in the 98th minute?

Finally playing the new Hitman trilogy and it’s a rollercoaster of emotions.
Level set in England has left-hand-drive cars:
“0/10 what the hell is this”
Assassinate a dictator by dropping a toilet on his head:
“10/10 best game ever”

The way I squealed when Sand Kingdom turned up.
Much like with Sonic, now they've got the origin story out of the way, I am SO excited to see what they adapt.
And I'm already salivating at the thought of the Galaxy soundtrack getting the Hollywood treatment.

Booked our mini-honeymoon yesterday.
If the Spanish weather is kind, we’ll spend our first week as a married couple watching a total solar eclipse at sunset. 🙏

I just ran into a new (and impossible) security verification which I guess is being used to train AI, but what the hell.
For the record, the panda in overalls was NOT the correct answer, and the sheep with dots was ALSO not the correct answer.
