I thought this was a joke at first. It actually needs drive access to run someone else's prompt. Wild.

On iOS safari, it just says “Allow access to Google Drive to load this Prompt”. When I run into that UI, my first instinct is that the poster of the link is trying to phish me. That they’ve composed some kind of script that wants to read my Google Drive so it can send info back to them. I’m only going to click “allow” if I trust the sender with my data. IMO, if that’s not what is happening, this is awful product design.

Imagine the metrics though. "this quarter we've had a 12% increase on people using AI solutions in their google drive".

  Google Drive is one of the bigger offenders when it comes to “metrics-driven user-hostile changes”, in gsuite, and its Google Meet is one of its peers.

    In The Wire they asked Bunny to "juke the stats" - and he was having none of that.

Not really, that's just basic access control. If you've used Colab or Cloud Shell (or even just Google Cloud in general, given the need to explicitly allow the usage of each service), it's not surprising at all.

  Why does AI studio need access to my drive in order to run someone else's prompt? It's not a prompt for authentication with my Google account. I'm already signed in. It's prompting for what appears to be full read/write access to my drive account. No thanks.

After ChatGPT accidentally indexed everyones shared chats (and had a cache collision in their chat history early on) and Meta build a UI flow that filled a public feed full of super private chats... seems like a good move to use a battle tested permission system.

Not a chance I'll ever click 'ok'. I'd love to be able to opt-out of anything AI related near my google environment.

To clarify, the message above is what I got after giving it Google Drive access.
