Regarding the last boost (Google activating and opting people into Gemini AI features in gmail), I've found uBlock Origin does a good job hiding all the obnoxious AI boxes, nudges and icons. Install the extension, right click the offending element, and choose "Block element". The uBlock Origin user interface is pretty self explanatory as far as setting up new filters goes. There's a Preview button that lets you see if your new filter really is getting rid of the thing. You can click Pick to try selecting a slightly larger context to get rid of something.

They're shoving this stuff in our faces the way they shove ads in our faces, against our wishes and with no clear benefit to us. We don't need to accept either, and both are quite dangerous.

Ads are part of the surveillance apparatus and also function to commodify everything while stripping people of self esteem. What's AI's draw for the powers that be, do you think?
