I think it's more about personal data being used for training.

I may use Google to look up if that slight itch I feel is a symptom of cancer (I'm exaggerating), and I store mails with personal details, my calendar, and messages on Google. But I also assume they're not using those texts to train an AI.

When you enter a code snippet or a personal question in ChatGPT, and press the little thumbs up/down next to the answer, you're adding your data to a training set. The next generation of the model might regurgitate that text verbatim.

Right, because Google doesn’t use ML or your data for marketing and advertising.

Is your concern simply that it might spit out the same thing you typed in? That’s highly unlikely unless you and thousands of other people type in exactly the same thing. I don’t see how that’s anymore worrisome than Google having all of your documents and email on its servers.
