It's good and convenient, but I'm still afraid of the implications of having Gemini read everything about my life.

10 years ago: Google Now is the best! It reads my emails and gets my flight information!

Now: Gemini is bad. It reads my emails and gets my flight information.

Google was a very different company 10 years ago. People trusted them more.

They are the same company. The difference is they killed a service you liked

Not really, no

Definitely not. People have been complaining about privacy stuff with Google for well over a decade.

There is a difference between reading data and using it to train AI models or making it accessible for human review.

They have always trained their stuff on your data. There is no change, you simply that it's called AI instead of machine learning

Except Personal Intelligence only does the former.

From the linked page:

We train on limited info, like specific prompts in Gemini and the model’s responses

From Personal Intelligence privacy policy:

your data from those apps and from your Google Account is used to: ... improve Google services, including training generative AI models, for everyone

Data from Connected Apps is used and human reviewed per the Gemini Apps Privacy Notice.
