The only thing I use google drive for is backups. Let’s see them doing anything with an encrypted archive.

This includes paying users? I wonder how that works for doctors offices that have paid subscriptions and maybe store sensitive data on those servers? That would be a stupid idea, of course, but still, a lot of smaller practices don’t really have a good it guy that can help them do things right

There are two different ways how this can be implemented. Either data in Google Drive is being used as training material or Gemini is reading the drive data on users request as part of the prompt and not being used as training data.

Second one is way different, because it does not expose the data to third party. Copilot has been doing this for a year now.

I assume that is the second way

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.
