Did anyone expect differently?
Weird. The original article says “accused”, but on Lemmy they’re already found guilty.
This isn’t a court of law, or the privatized forced mandatory arbitration that has mostly replaced it.
Out of curiosity, in your view, what has Google done to deserve the benefit of the doubt?
That the person who reported it used a ML to try and find the setting to attempt to solve it, did not fill me with confidence of their abilities to manage this. They later admitted that they did have it enabled in some form.
They also never became specific about how well Gemini interpreted their tax result file. Did it give the proper number verbatim? That’s pretty damming. Did it just reply “You’re not getting a tax return”? That’s just 50/50 odds.
Frankly I’m surprised its without permission. Throw that shit in the ToS right next to the part about Google having permission to kiss my mom whenever they want - nobody’s going to read it and the TOS for Google drive already allow them to look at user content.
I bet it’s scanning your emails too
This makes a lot of sense. The fuel for AI is data and there is sooo much non public data.
Google is behind but they have loads of user data, the temptation would be too great for a company that no longer had a “don’t be evil” value.
