Google Workspace raises prices due to new AI features

I use Google Workspace for my business and just received an email from Google saying they're raising the price. The reason they stated:

> The updated subscription pricing reflects the significant added AI value, as well as the many new features we have introduced and are launching to Google Workspace editions.

The reason I'm sharing this is that I want to discourage other companies and product creators from taking this path. I don't want or use the AI features they've added. From my perspective, they've actively made their products worse by adding distracting popups trying to get me to use the AI features I don't want, and now they're charging me for that.
