Google is so sneaky. This prompt inside Gmail gives you three options. The two most visible options (number 1 is ‘Try it now’ and number 2 is ‘Continue’) basically mean ‘Enable Gemini AI to write emails.’ The third option cancels it which is hidden well. Google, you could do better than this. This is a perfect example of a dark pattern. For those who want AI to write basic emails can enable it but there is not need to do this kind of “shady” stuff.
