Gemini chats on personal paid subscriptions can be used for model training
What happened
On November 4, a Hacker News front-page post citing Google help documentation said that when Gemini users on a personal Google AI subscription turn on Keep Activity, saved chats can also be used to train generative AI models, and a personal paid subscription does not rule this out. The documentation also says some conversations are reviewed by humans, and review records can be kept for up to 3 years even after a user deletes activity. The post warns users not to enter confidential information.
