Right now it’s an AI but Google has been “reading” your docs since they invented Google Search, Gmail and Google Docs are just extensions. It’s literally in their business model, collect all your info to show you relevant ads.
- dotancohen 2y agoAre you suggesting that the contents of Google Docs documents are used to target ads?
- singron 2y agoGoogle also stopped using Gmail for ad targeting.
- manuelmoreale 2y agoOh, I know. I'm aware of that. Which is why I don't use a free gmail account, I don't use google docs, and I run as much ad blocking as possible both at the browser and at the network level. And that's also why i'm sure google is collecting as much data as possible when people use gemini. Because why wouldn't they? It's their entire business model: collect data and then sell ads based on that.
