For Bankston, the issue seems localized to Google Drive, and only happens after pressing the Gemini button on at least one document.

Turns out, when you tell it to look at your document, it looks at your document. Who could possibly have known?!

Literally the next sentence:

The matching document type (in this case, PDF) will subsequently automatically trigger Google Gemini for all future files of the same type opened within Google Drive.

So documents you didn’t tell it to look at.

Also sounds like you can’t turn it back off, once it turns itself on.
