I wouldn’t be surprised if Alphabet has used data from all these sources all the time.
That’s actually the reason I don’t use gmail except for registering Android, or use google calender, or google search except occasionally. I have my youtube account separate from my Android, and I don’t allow any cloud services, like photo or any other storage or sync services.
The power Google can gain from using these things in combination is huge, just like Facebook influenced the 2016 US presidential election, Google/Alphabet could use this for both political and financial gains to an enormous degree, that would have been completely unheard of prior to Internet becoming widely used.
Man I can’t wait to get 100% out of gmail.
Me, who’s had a Gmail account as my main email for twenty plus years. 😞
What makes anyone think google didn’t have the access before anyway?
These companies just push hard for people to leave them.
openai’s chat gpt, and microsoft’s bing flavor of chat gpt both have android apps. google’s bard does not. that is all…
Queue the I’m in danger meme
Having generative AI hooked up to workspaces is a clear next step that’s going to be very very popular. I’m not sure why this thread is shocked.
I wonder what will happen when proprietary Open AI LLM’s start scraping data that the companies use them don’t want scraped because it’s proprietary. IT department using LLM for code for the company wide web portal. And now schematics for a new device are scraped etc.
This is super cool. No longer need to fiddle with third-party LLM APIs.
For those worried that your emails contents might get leaked, I’m pretty sure they’re not using your email content to train, but only use it as context. LLMs are stateless, as soon you you start a new chat, it forgets everything from before.
