In the future, Google will create a chatbot doppelganger of you and use it to recommend products to your friends and family.

Genuine question, what's your concern with this?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't want Google to use my emails and documents to train their AI.

What if this is not about them using your data to train their AI?

Is that a devil's-advocate question? Anyway, I don't know, but I suspect. I'm not their customer, I'm their product. The more access they have to data, the more money they make.

I doubt they'll use your data to train Bard. At least not right now. What they're doing here is probably just pulling some data from your emails/calendar/etc. and put it into the context of your current chat.
