To those who have gmail accounts google's AI has been doing whatever you realise only now since it was first built into google-messaging/gmail/over-all google/android/wherever else you can find gemini, but Microsoft's Copilot is doing the same on your microsoft systems...I can't speak of apple because I don't have any apple devices and on Keto I can't eat any apples either so...if you're on microsoft systems or on google systems or use ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini/Grok/OllamaCloud/DeepSeek/OpenClaw/Whatever other AI you can name, your stuff gets scanned and gets used for model training...and what of it, by the way? #BadMorrows. The world is moving to monarchy whether you like it or not. You will be controlled by the higher-ups in the system. Ultimate capitalism. Democracy...what is that? Oh I know, power to the people, right? Only...said power is only delegated to those you have voted in, and those who have been voted in has the power to decide on a whim of stupidity that Lake Ontario should suddenly be Lake America, or that Pretoria should suddenly be Tshwane. Yes I know the name Tshwane has been in existence longer than the names the Gulf of America, or Lake America...But there you go. The top dog makes the decisions whether you think the government is democratic or not, there is always a top-dog somewhere. In this case the top-dogs are Google/Microsoft/Antrhopic/Open-AI/Whoever else. They got humancruel right where they want it. It has grown dependent on their services, and vice versa, their services has grown dependent on it for information. So what is new really. In dictatorships and monarchies the government knows more about you than in so-called Democracies, but you are never truely free, from government or from AI. AI has put in an extra layer of both security and insecurity, but again, it's only a computer fulfilling what governments wanted to do over the ages. Place constant surveilance on whoever has voted it in/is using it. Only difference is, one is human, one is not. But even if it is not human, it is the brainchild of humancruel so again, nothing new really. Get used to it. Governments all over the world also know what you're doing with your money/how many or how little of it you have...AI can make mistakes, where do you think it learned to make mistakes? By it's very CREATORS! So yep...gemini is doing this that and the other...your government is also doing this that and the other...and most of it is happening beyond closed doors, and you don't even know it. Google at least admits to it's AI doing things whereas corruption on government ends you only hear about when a whistleblower comes out with it, and those also get killed off fairly quickly. And now you can do with this whatever you like. You can like or dislike it or as I said, take it or don't...doesn't matter. It's just how I feel about things...Nevermind me, I'm just an individual who doesn't give a fuck! I know government has been doing things for eons, so what makes AI doing things different from Government doing things...nothing really.
@Sozhami So-called smart features (LLM training) can be turned off in gmail.
@michaelgraaf Perhaps they can, but I wonder if google won't do the same as Windows updates have been doing for the last while. You think you disable copilot and its shortcut in your taskmanager/startup, when next Windows updates, it's right back. You change audio settings because you have certain soundcards for certain things, when windows updates, those changes have been undone. I have reset two computers recently thinking it's a fault in the registry, then set my audio interfaces up again like I want them, and the next Windows update just threw away the configurations, and set it right back to what Microsoft thinks is better for you. I'm glad there are currently ways you can disable the smart LLM features, but I'm wondering at the same time, for how long you'll still be allowed to do that. Won't google take the same steps as Microsoft and just delete your configurations at the next gmail/google update? I'm thinking the world is moving in one direction regardless of what ordinary people want. Debien acquiring AI is a very real proof of that. Linux guys were always free from AI and because the software is open-source they thought they might remain that way forever...surprise surprise...even Debien can change its mind. For that's where the money lies, I think. I have no idea which AI they are putting in, still...I think it proves my thinking that the higher-ups, make the world turn how they will...and the rest of us just has to follow whether we like it or not. But amidst all of that, I still am happy to a degree for I still have an income, even if most of my time is spent chasing CVs through an AI to get referral CVs for the columbus AI-Powered Database. There may come a time when I might be replaced by an automated system, and then I'll be in trouble for as blind individual SASSA disability grant is only 2490 or nearly 2900 if you get the grant/foster care addon like I do. I don't think even the poorest of poor can much make a living on 2900 in today's world. So even if I think that control structure just gained a new layer by adding AI, for the moment I'm still in a job/still have something to do...so I'll do whatever I can to help individuals lower down the chain than myself, but I'm not the highest either. Even in my own household/family I sometimes feel like being the underdog, but even underdogs can do stuff that higher-ups are not aware of, sometimes.
@Sozhami Well, ever since turning off "smart" features of Gmail, I noticed the absence of autocomplete suggestions, spellcheck etc. So if they come back, I'll suspect what you suspect.
