Just a few days ago, the transition we were already expecting was completed, with the farewell to the Bard and the arrival of Gemini in his place, a new chatbot that, as its name suggests, is based on LLM Gemini, which the tech company unveiled at Google I/O 2023 and unveiled in early December last year. With this move, in addition to the debut of a chatbot payment modality, we also had final confirmation that Bard was a quick answer to Bing, but that Google aspired to much more. Something logical, on the other hand, when we are actually talking about a company that has been active in the field of artificial intelligence for many years.

So yes 2023 was the year many tech companies began marking their position in the field of artificial intelligence in general, and more specifically in relation to chatbots, we can expect to see everyone start improving their positions in 2024, and of course when the competition really starts to attract users to payment services, something that until recently was only OpenAI with ChatGPT Plus.

Now, if the goal is to attract the maximum number of users possible, this is key that the Services strive to ensure that their user experience is as good as possible, something they can partly control directly, but which also depends partly on the users themselves. And if there is one thing that has worried many at this time, it is undoubtedly privacy, the risk of revealing the data we provide to chatbots during our conversations.

The problem, and this is something known, is that the companies responsible for these services use the conversations for various purposes, from training models to supervising their operation in real conditions. This is something that Google has already actively informed users about, but since there was a major change, they decided to repeat it. So as we can read in ZDNet, Google reminds again that we should not enter private information in Geminiand informs us about the type of information Google collects:

• Conversation
• Location
• Comments
• Usage information

On the information page about Gemini we can find enough information about the use of interactions with the chatbot and generally seems to take a lot of care to protect user privacy. However, one does not have to try too hard to imagine a scenario in which, even with the protection measures proposed by Google, some data that we would prefer to keep private could appear. So, even though the vast majority are already clear on this, it doesn’t hurt to remind them again, and that’s what search engine technology has done: no private data in Gemini,
