    I wouldn’t be surprised if Alphabet has used data from all these sources all the time.

    That’s actually the reason I don’t use gmail except for registering Android, or use google calender, or google search except occasionally. I have my youtube account separate from my Android, and I don’t allow any cloud services, like photo or any other storage or sync services.

    The power Google can gain from using these things in combination is huge, just like Facebook influenced the 2016 US presidential election, Google/Alphabet could use this for both political and financial gains to an enormous degree, that would have been completely unheard of prior to Internet becoming widely used.

      They did. Its not about that

      Now you can throw in a boring pdf, into your drive, and have bard read it and summarize each chapter. For example.

      I asked it to read a report i have written for school and summarize it and give mr a few pointers where i could improve it. It was nice and speedy.

      Granted the report isnt super long.

      Wonder how well it does on a 700 page pdf…

      They certaintly did, and already used AI to comb through it for their monitized stalking campaign. I think the only difference now is you can now make use of this somehow too, but I only read the headline lol.

    Having generative AI hooked up to workspaces is a clear next step that’s going to be very very popular. I’m not sure why this thread is shocked.

    This is super cool. No longer need to fiddle with third-party LLM APIs.

    For those worried that your emails contents might get leaked, I’m pretty sure they’re not using your email content to train, but only use it as context. LLMs are stateless, as soon you you start a new chat, it forgets everything from before.
