   Google has everyone paying $2/month more for AI features they’re forcing on everybody like Microsoft, and here is how to opt out of that garbage. This feature is turned on for everyone by default except for
   a) The European Economic Area
   b) Japan
   c) Switzerland
   d) The United Kingdom

     @kevinrns yes, it is paid version of GMAIL and it is called Google workspace (G suite old name). They are forcing everyone $2 per user. So if you have 1000 users, it will be 1000x2=2000 extra per month.

     @nixCraft I tried following those directions earlier this week but it was already off and they still shoved it in my face. I had to use uBlock Origin to hide it, though their use of obfuscated html made that harder, and probably brittler, than it should be.
