Gemini’s New Beta Feature: Now It Knows Way Too Bloody Much

Oh, fantastic. Because what the world really needed was another nosy, data-hungry digital stalker pretending to make your life “easier.” Google’s latest bright idea, Gemini’s new beta feature, basically rummages through your damn photos, emails, and calendar like some hyperactive intern who’s had too much cold brew and zero respect for personal boundaries. The thing now *proactively* offers “helpful” responses and suggestions — which is corporate-speak for “we’re reading all your crap in real time and pretending it’s fine.”

Apparently, if you snap a pic of a meeting invite on your desk, Gemini might “helpfully” summarize it or suggest a response. If you have an email chain discussing your car insurance, it might chirp up with a ready-to-send reply like some overzealous office assistant who doesn’t understand the concept of “piss off, I’ll handle it myself, thanks.”

And of course, Google swears it’s all private and secure — because, sure, that’s totally believable coming from a company that’s built its empire on knowing when you sneeze and what kind of tissues you buy. It’s not creepy at all that your digital buddy now wants to be some sort of omniscient assistant-slash-psychic-slash-annoying know-it-all who anticipates your every move. Brilliant. Just what we wanted. Another AI trying to be clever while quietly strip-mining your life for “insights.”

So yeah, the tech works — sort of — but it’s also one more slippery bastard in the growing pile of “AI helpers” that can’t tell the difference between being smart and being a privacy-violating nuisance. But go on, install it. Let the bloody bot organize your existence until you can’t tell the difference between your own thoughts and the machine’s *helpful f**king suggestions.*

Reminds me of that one idiot user who gave me access to their inbox “just to fix the spam filter,” and then complained when I auto-forwarded their boss’s “urgent” messages to /dev/null. Hey, I was being proactive — just like Geminis’ new feature.
