Gemini now wants to tap into your Google search history.
This marks a new level of personalisation, unprecedented in the chatbot space so far.
Three years after the launch of ChatGPT, Google is finally flexing its biggest asset: ecosystem integration.
But this feature raises more than a few eyebrows.
Google knows more about you and your history than any other tech company. And it wants to use that knowledge across all its apps, including Gemini.
But let’s not forget, it has just lost three consecutive lawsuits for abusing its dominant position.
In particular, for gatekeeping personal data in and competitors out.
So is this feature even legal?
Personally, I enjoy the process of teaching ChatGPT what to remember about me. It feels like a collaboration, a gradual tuning where I am in full control.
But not sure I’m ready to feed Gemini the mess of my late-night searches during a romantic meltdown ten years ago.
Can I even curate what "memories" to pass?
By clicking that "connect now" button I'm giving away control over my data.
Since I know there's an alternative, I'm not comfortable in doing so.
The GPT "memories" and "custom instructions" model definitely wins for me.
Thoughts?
