Google workspace is awful , it’s super dooper awful with Gemini shoved up my ass all the time , which is impossible to disable, and trains on all my data. Gsuite makes office look good !!


The workspace admins can disable Gemini, among many other things. Google also does not "steal" your data if you read the ToS; any training is strictly scoped to that workspace.

If you thought for a few seconds, you would realize that companies with big legal teams would not sign a contract that would give Google the right to their data.


> any training is strictly scoped to that workspace

Are they really doing training separately for each workspace? I thought LLM training was enormously expensive and needed lots of data, which wouldn't make sense to do separately.


they're no so much training as providing context just when you invoke it


Yeah google does not steal your data and that's why companies like amazon dont even send you full details of your online shopping order so google can't crawl what you bought and what price you bought it for.


my recent amazon order emails actually came with a full itemized list with prices


Is it reasonable to assume that individuals and small companies get the same friendly terms as companies with big legal teams and expensive contracts?

That may be the case, but I wouldn’t count on it. Probably it can change with one email from Google that has “oh btw we’re changing some contract terms, you have 14 days to opt out, no big deal” buried deep down.
