Google's AI Leaks Game Developer's Private Info, Raises Scraping Concerns

A game developer claims that Google's AI, Gemini, leaked information from his private Google Docs. The developer shared screenshots showing the AI revealing unreleased details about his game, including a character name and mechanics.

The developer believes that Google must have scraped his documents to train its AI, but Google's support pages state that Gemini can only access Google Docs with explicit permission or if a document is publicly shared. However, there are exceptions to this rule, such as when a link is posted online or when a third-party extension is used.

The situation has left many wondering about the extent of AI scraping and data protection. While some are skeptical of the developer's claims, others point out that Google's privacy hub does not explicitly state that it won't use content for AI training.
