Gemini, Google's artificial intelligence, is raising concerns among users due to possible unauthorized access to personal files, even with disabled settings. The tax return incident raises questions about privacy and control over data in cloud services.
AI Privacy Issues
Unexpected Gemini Intervention
Artificial intelligence integrated into computers and smartphones raises legitimate concerns about data security. The recent case of Google Gemini showed that AI can analyze users' files without explicit permission.
Tax Return Incident
A user named Kevin Bankston encountered unexpected behavior from Gemini. After opening a PDF file of a tax return in Google Docs, the AI itself provided a summary of the document, although Kevin did not request this action or give permission to analyze the file.
Finding a solution to the problem
Bankston tried to find a way to disable this feature, but encountered difficulties. Gemini provided incorrect setup instructions and the actual disable option was no longer active. This has raised further questions about users' control over their data.
Community reaction
The incident sparked discussion online. Some users have expressed concern that Google services could be used to train AI without the consent of the owners of the information. Others have questioned the wisdom of storing sensitive documents in cloud services.
Uncertainty of the situation
While the details of the incident and the accuracy of Kevin Bankston's statements remain unconfirmed, the situation raises important questions about the limits of artificial intelligence to personal data of users in cloud storages.

Wow! It looks like the AI is getting too smart. I definitely wouldn't want someone to analyze my personal documents without asking. 😱
Hans
I agree, Amelia! This is a serious breach of privacy. I wonder how Google will explain this? 🤔 Maybe it’s worth switching to other services?
Sophie
Guys, don't you think this could just be a bug? I use Google Docs all the time and have never encountered anything like this. Maybe we should wait for the official comment? 🤷♀️
Giovanni
Sophie, even if it's a bug, it's unacceptable. Imagine what happens to confidential company documents! 😠 You need to be careful with cloud storage.
Viktor
Ha! So much for progress. I told you not to trust these newfangled things. Paper and pen will never betray you! And you are all clouds, AI... Now clear it up.
Amelia
Viktor, don't be such a pessimist! 😄 Technologies do not stand still, and problems are solved. The main thing is to report them in a timely manner and demand corrections.
Isabel
But it seems to me that you just need to read the user agreements and privacy settings more carefully. I'm sure there is an option to disable such functions. 🧐
Hans
Isabel, you're right! But you must admit, not everyone is ready to spend time studying long agreements. Maybe Google should make these settings more visible and clear? 🤓
