  "account": "Artificial intelligence (AI) has long infiltrated email services, such as Gmail, where Google's Gemini AI model is used to summarize messages or act as a writing assistant. Similar AI assistance can be found in other Google products, offering personalized features. However, users can choose to turn off these AI functions if they prefer. To do this, they should open the Gmail app and click on the gear icon at the top right. Select \"See all settings\" from the drop-down menu. Scroll down and look for \"Smart features\" under \"Smart features in Gmail, Google Chat, and Google Meet.\" Uncheck the box next to \"Enable smart features in Gmail, Google Chat, and Google Meet.\" Then, scroll further down to \"Smart features in Google Workspace.\" Click the button \"Manage settings for smart features in Workspace.\" A new window will open with options for \"Smart features in Google Workspace\" (including Gmail, Calendar, personalized search, and summaries) and \"Smart features in other Google products\" (such as Maps, Wallet, Assistant, and Gemini app). Uncheck the blue checkboxes next to each option if they are selected, making sure the slider moves left and a gray cross appears. Confirm the changes by clicking \"Save\" at the bottom right.",
