How to turn off text auto-completion in Gmail / Googlemail? [closed]

I don't think this is your scenario, but in case anyone else hits the same problem as I had and winds up here, Google recently added a new "Smart Compose" feature which tries to finish every word for you:

It was intensely distracting for me, so I turned it off using

Gear > Settings > General > Smart Compose > Writing Suggestions Off

This text auto-completion, named "Input Tools" by Google can be easily turned off by using the button next to the gear icon in the upper right corner of Gmail.

It looks like this is an update to the Google Labs Feature: "Canned Responses by Chad P"

I didn't know that Labs have auto-update enabled and did not expect such a functionality from this add-in.

After disabling all Labs with https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?labs=0 and confirming that the completion was gone, I enabled them one by one to find the culprit.
