That's some big slippery slope fallacy. Privacy respecting AI was a highly requested feature, whether you wanted it or not.

Them adding an AI mail assistant that is completely private has nothing to do with them eventually not protecting user privacy. These things have nothing to do with each other.

AI is not inherently a privacy invading tool, its just that the majority of services offering it are free, hence them profiting off data.
