Google Gemini trains on personal chat history
Original title: Tell HN: Gemini trains on chat history, even for subscribers (personal accounts)
Gemini app activity trains generative AI models; users cannot opt out without disabling activity, losing chats after 72 hours.
Google's Gemini AI uses app activity from personal subscriptions to improve services, including training generative models. Chats may be reviewed by humans and retained for up to three years. Users must disable 'Keep Activity' to opt out, but lose past sessions.
Unconfirmed: Google claims chats are anonymized; retention period stated in support pages.
- Disabling activity means chats lost after 72 hours
- Human reviewers retain chats up to 3 years
- Paid subscription does not prevent training
- Chats reviewed by human reviewers are not deleted when you delete your activity.
