For the people who didn’t read the article. Read this TLDR: When you open a Google Doc. A Gemini sidebar appears, so you can ask questions about the document. Here, it summarized a document without the user asking.
The article title makes it seem like they are using your files to train AI which no proof exists for that(yet)
At least the data is sent to Gemini servers. This alone can be illegal but I’m not sure. What I’m more sure about is that they do use the data to train the models.
Since it is Google Docs, the data is already on Google servers. But yeah, it doesn’t exactly instill confidence into the confidentiality of documents on Google Docs.
Google told me they really care about my privacy, tho.
Surprising nobody.

this reminded me of the Google takeout I requested last week so I could switch to self hosting 👍
This is why anything you upload to the cloud should be encrypted. Or just, yenno, don’t use the cloud
