I assume it must be linked to your Google account.
Still very dumb to give access to it. What they gonna do next, give entire Gmail conversations?
They already have. Some of the heat Google is getting is that they are using Gmail data to train their AI.
Yup
Marching orders: make AI available everywhere you can. There are no concerns about where it gets data from. What could possibly go wrong?
Why do people allow shady companies to have this level of access to anything? Poison, Lie, Obfuscate, and block every script and site that isn't needed specifically to accomplish your task.
It may be that they’re a YouTube personality and need it for payment.
But honestly. The number of people who put their DOB and address into a website to get a coupon is INSANE.

This is the way.
Shackleford as in the flower company out of Calumet City?

I really hate this feature that makes comment or email responses into dialogue trees. I get that it's still an option to do that even if they aren't putting it right into the UI, but it's rude to substitute an autogenenerated message for a few of your own words and for it to be a direct part of the interface like this implies that it's instead fine and normal.
