they are serious, this is some of what i have read about it

"But there's a catch to the e-mail. Hoping to turn a profit from the service - dubbed Gmail - privately held Google has programmed its computers to dissect the topics being discussed in the e-mails and then deliver text-based ads related to the subjects.

For instance, an e-mail from one friend to another discussing an upcoming concert might prompt Google to include an advertising link from a ticketing agency."
