> I left Google Workspace, as a paying customer for years, because they injected gemini into gmail

I wonder if this varies by territory. 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?
