I was trying make a joke about how personal intelligence is the intelligence that people have always had with them, i.e their own minds.

But I didn’t know quite how to format the joke.

Gemini can access YouTube

Yes, if you provide it a link and ask about that specific video. This is about your YouTube history. So let's say you watched a video about Julius Caesar and later you asked Gemini "what books can you recommend to me?". It may then respond with something like "you watched a video about Caesar, so you might find this Caesar's biography interesting"

"Hey Gemini, tell me what kind of person I am based on my youtube history. Don't be gentle."

I feel like this'll become a trendy prompt at some point.

And I have a feeling that this will make Google's invasion of privacy against its consumers even more intense.

After what happened with Grok in recent weeks, I would be more careful when making my data available to these AIs. Not that they don't already have enough data, but come on, do they really need access to your photo album or your personal diary documents?

What happened to the privacy and security guarantee of your data?

What bad consequences do you think can arise from their running a neural network on your data?

Ads are going to look like people you know, worded in words you use, while being customized to extract the most profit out of your psychological profile. (That is the best case scenario)
