Perhaps not in the email interface itself, but you would be hard pressed to convince anyone that it's not shoved in a machine learning model somewhere.

I mean it's literally explicity in the privacy policy. They always kept email based targeting separate from broader data and stopped using it at all for ad targetting a year or two ago, seemingly because corporate (gsuite) users were concerned that the data might be used anyway or something, I'm not really sure.

I don't think you can get more explicit than "Consumer Gmail content will not be used or scanned for any ads personalization after this change."
