Many people are hoping—nay, praying—that the potential AI bubble will burst soon.
But to hear Google tell it, generative AI is the future, and the company’s products have to change to keep up with the technical reality. As a result, Gemini is seeping into every nook and cranny of the Google ecosystem. Generative AI feeds on data, and Google has a lot of your data in products like Gmail and Drive. What does that mean for your privacy, and what happens if you don’t want Gemini peeking over your shoulder? Well, it’s kind of a mess.
The amount of data Gemini retains depends on how you access the AI, and opting out of data collection can mean running straight into so-called “dark patterns,” UI elements that work against the user’s interest.
This is the future?
I thought we were talking about the article, Google’s generative AI (thread topic). The thing that needs the data centers (my very first post). Protein folding and fill tools existed before the bubble started inflating, and are not what we were talking about…
Go back to my first comment.
That was never what we were talking about.
We were talking about the “transformative” tech the bubble was supposedly making as it inflates? I’m just reading and repeating your words now
Switching from the current bubble to broader pre-bubble stuff that literally nobody means when they criticize AI is just a motte-and-bailey. I want to know what the methane-powered data centers are for. Not what pre-bubble stuff could maybe do
So of the 3 examples I gave you ignored 2 and claim one doesn’t count.
