Yep

This also extends to other products. Don't use your personal Gmail to do 'TOS violating' things. Better yet, separate it as much a possible with different devices, VPNs, etc.

Losing your primary email will SUCK

(Also make backups)

It's always fun when I can recommend something better to friends, especially when the new thing requires no new compromises

Adblock plus --> uBlock Origin

LastPass --> Bitwarden

uTorrent --> qBitorrent

It's super important to keep an eye on any shenanigans from Google, but it can't be done by raising alarms on incorrect information if the alarm bells are to be trusted.

Nicely said, I might repurpose that phrase in the future :)

Still, the news link below is probably a better source. I don't know what 'FreeSpeechIre' is

Google is dropping the Assistant team, and Amazon is dropping the Alexa team. This sounds a lot like Apple is trying to avoid an explicit layoff and forcing employees to quit instead.

Constructive dismissal lawsuit?

This reads a lot like an advertisement, even if that wasn't the intent.

Assuming good faith, in the future maybe bring up the topic only, and if you make recommendations then don't push for one brand in particular?

They're supposed to work fine in the background

The point was about the many recent stories of companies rushing to use "AI" and the chaos it caused

A lot of healthcare and education institutions use Outlook as well, so I wouldn't be surprised if mental health or legal uses it too. There may be rules about what kind of client/student/patient information can be sent over email, and often there are healthcare/institution specific variants of the office suites which (are supposed to) meet regulatory requirements

I think the other comment applies regardless. Do work things on the work device/account and let the workplace handle any other concerns. When it comes time to discuss alternatives, you can make a case for something else
