Great I really wanted that.
I wonder how this will affect the right to be forgotten. It's not like theyre going to un-train any models or remove any derivative content

Oh, but Bard’ll give you plenty of chances to opt out.
Whether Sundar Pichai honors that is another matter entirely.
if u cannot check the source code of Google AI you cannot trust his claims
How do you opt out? Stop texting and delete all messages?
You send in one of those 30-days requests to have all your data purged from Google, probably.
Article didn’t actually say how the opt out process will work, just gave a buncha supposed Bard quotes on the subject.
I’m sure it’ll be fiiiiiine. /s
Hold it there Privacy Enthusiasts!
Read this first, it explains the learning technology: https://federated.withgoogle.com/
Read the article! The change isn't live yet...and you can likely disable it once it drops.
“While an exact date is still unknown,” Bard says, “all signs point towards Bard's arrival in Google Messages sometime in 2024. It could be a matter of weeks or months, but it's definitely coming.” Meanwhile, what we’ve seen thus far remains buried deep inside a beta release and subject to change before release.
Good, gives me time to switch to a FOSS sms app...
Have one you can recommend for someone who's tech savvy but just wants it to work out of the box?
Fossify SMS Messages?
I hear there's a fork of Signal that doesn't remove SMS, but idk what it's called.
I just use SMS Messenger from F-Droid.
Used as training data, or used as prompts to give further context? The former would be very troubling since it'd then be available to anyone able to engineer the right prompt. But I suspect they're looking at doing the latter.
Not if I’m not using any Google products. There are now excellent (even superior) alternatives to everything Google offers save YouTube.
I applaud your intention. But there really is such a thing as peer pressure. The reason why only Gmail/GSuite and Hotmail/365mail is left is because these two ensured that mail wasn't deliverable from independent email servers. And the fact that a vast majority was on them helped them convert a federated messaging medium into more-or-less centralized service. Even today, there are a lot of people around who knows the harm in using Chrome, but then goes ahead and say - "I would have switched to Firefox, if only some-random-useless-website worked on it". It's always possible for people to harass the company/institution to support Firefox. But they would rather make up excuses to stay on Chrome than do something about it. The same happens to every Google service as well - especially Gmail.
Over blown. I have never used Goggle or Microsoft mail and my email works just fine.
Can't say I didn't expect that.
