"The cloud" continues to be someone else's computer. If you put your data up there, it's no longer your data.

For Bankston, the issue seems localized to Google Drive, and only happens after pressing the Gemini button on at least one document.

Turns out, when you tell it to look at your document, it looks at your document. Who could possibly have known?!

Literally the next sentence:

The matching document type (in this case, PDF) will subsequently automatically trigger Google Gemini for all future files of the same type opened within Google Drive.

So documents you didn't tell it to look at.

You must host your own data if you don’t want a third party going through it.

And with stuff like Anything LLM you can self host an entirety local multimodal agent in a handful of clicks.

Yes it's true. It's also true that Google should try to be more trustworthy so that normal people can use without getting their data stolen.
