Google Warns of Privacy Risks with New AI Assistant “Gemini”
Key Points:
- Google’s new AI assistant, Gemini, collects your conversations, location, feedback, and usage information.
- Be cautious: This includes your actual conversations, not just summaries. They are stored for 3 years, even after deleting activity.
- Don’t share sensitive information: Google may use it to improve AI and might share it with human reviewers.
- Even turning off activity tracking doesn’t prevent conversations from being saved for 72 hours.
Additional Notes:
- This applies to all Gemini apps, not just the main assistant.
- Google claims they don’t sell your information but use it for internal purposes.
Me: And my sexual preferences are-
Gemini: I already know that.
Me: Oh…okay, well my address is…
Gemini: Pfft, duhh, I’m trained on Google data, you think I don’t already know that?
Me: Oh…okay…I was thinking…
Gemini: About that last ad I shoved down your throat. Yeah, I know you loved that.
Me: Uhh…no…you didn’t show me any ads…
Gemini: Didn’t I?
Love it! 😍 Hope somebody makes a cartoon out of it.
