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.

Because it already knows everything personal about you from your google account, chrome browser, search history, emails & files, and even your keyboard. Gemini wants to guess, because it's more exciting that way! 🤩 /s

Heck, these LLMs are really good at summary. Now, they can now summarize all your disparate data, including your weird interactions with Gemini (and associated apps), for advertisers' and governments' conveniences!
