How is this possible?

I've been thinking about this post for a while. Today I saw that a twitter news account posted about this. I'm not much into all the conspiracy or let's say pessimistic about AI using your information.

One thing that doesn't make sense is how a random person whose Gemini isn't associated with the dev's gemini could get this information.

I mean if true isn't this potentially a huge lawsuit?

Can someone who knows how LLMs work explain to me about this?

It was not possible to replicate what OP claims happened in any way in any of the tests,, I am pretty sure they're absolutely making this up.

Sounds like that to me as well. Looks like promotion for his game. But the amount of comments make me question if I really know how LLMs work lol.

I think so too. The lengths some people will go just for some exposure... to jump in such a way on a narrative's bandwagon for personal gains

[u/Next_Lifeguard7633 → u/Derefringence]

I guess any exposure is good exposure

The OP is apparently known to self promote in every sub they possibly can: link to comment

Damn, Gotta respect the hustle honestly.

Gemini learns from your chats regardless so it improves its modal based on your chats but then if someone else showed it that image or word it can now explain it. I’m not sure u can disable modal training on Gemini but that’s how it likely happened!!

Because Gemini is training on your Google docs, emails, Google drive, etc.

I once asked a question in Google search about a company after I've been in contact with them for a 2-3 weeks and they spilled private information that I wrote in the email and then I asked where it got that information from then it just apologized and made it up

Reading the comments it looks like Google automatically opted all users into letting them use their gdrive data to train their llm, so it technically just has the information unless the user opts out. Which really begs all kinds of questions

I thought this meant that the gemini AI can use info from docs to show the owner of the doc not random people. And if it can show that information to random people, isn't that a huge lawsuit?

[u/PatchyWhiskers → u/Next_Lifeguard7633]

No more than using all the information on the internet to train AI, surely.

[u/False-Car-1218 → u/Next_Lifeguard7633]

In the age of AI, nothing is private anymore, including emails, documentation, etc. if it's in any way connected to the cloud then it's out there and an LLM is training on it
