Google on Wednesday began inviting Gemini users to let its chatbot read their Gmail, Photos, Search history, and YouTube data in exchange for possibly more personalized responses.

Josh Woodward, VP of Google Labs, Gemini and AI Studio, announced the beta availability of Personal Intelligence in the US. Access will roll out over the next week to US-based Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers.

    Eww, that’s the worse trade that one could possibly do. ROFL Given how much of a fail “AI” is at the moment, they could never deliver anything substantial with such a trade.

    No one wants this at all.

    They have been shoveling Gemini into all the smart speakers and Android Auto. Gemini can’t get anything correct.

      I was reluctant to “upgrade”, but since that was forced, I’ve been using my smart speakers a lot more. Gemini can be helpful and (fairly–make sure your can sanity check) accurate.

        It’s always going to sound accurate. That’s what’s it’s built to do. It’s just that often the easiest way to sound accurate is to be accurate, but not always. Shortly after you forget that it’s going to fuck you.

        Better not forget.

    No one wants personalized answers. They want smart answers, like what was promised: talking to a professor. The promise of AI was to help me look smart on the internet. I’m a dumbass, why would I want you to tell me more dumbass things?

    Josh Woodward (Musician)

    For a minute there I thought it was THIS Josh Woodward. I remember years ago he had long hair and YouTube made him cut his hair to be some special content creator that they were offering back then.
