1 分•作者: logicallee•6 天前
如果您使用 Gmail,我想你们应该都知道,如果您开启了“智能功能”(Gmail 中的一项设置),您电子邮件草稿的内容将会出现在您生成的面向公众的 AI 生成内容中(我确实有机会审查过)。
这对我来说是一种令人惊讶的行为,值得牢记。
详细经过:
我通常会关闭 Gmail 中的“智能功能”,但是,我当时正在使用 Google Gemini,文件上传不起作用。因此,我从 Google Drive 分享了内容,这需要开启 Gmail 中的“智能功能”,所以我

If you use Gmail, I think you all should know that if you turn your "smart features" on (a setting in gmail), the contents of your email drafts will make it into public-facing AI-generated content you generate. (I did have a chance to review it).<p>It was surprising behavior to me that's worth keeping in mind.<p>Detailed story:<p>I usually keep "Smart features" turned off in Gmail, however, I was using Google Gemini and file upload didn't work. I therefore shared from my Google drive, which required turning on "Smart features" in my gmail, so I did so.<p>Later, I was reading this announcement about a Google robot on Hacker News on my phone:<p>https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49111237<p>I started typing out a response on Hacker News but decided to make it a higher-quality comment so I saved my draft in gmail, and sent a second email to myself. I intended to continue working on these on my desktop.<p>I decided that I would like to include a survey people could fill out for Google to show what's important to them, and so once at my desktop I started a Google form. When I opened Google forms it now allowed me to use a prompt to generate my form, so I prompted it to make a survey of what's important to people in home robotics.<p>Instead of only using my prompt to make the Google form (which is what I would have expected) it also used my gmail draft and the email I had sent to myself.<p>This may be of concern, since you may be using Gemini to create public-facing documents, whereas you may consider your drafts or emails private, confidential, trade secrets, etc. For example, consider a company that discusses upcoming features it is discussing internally by email, and also, separately, generating AI content about its existing product, doing market surveys, etc.<p>It may be a surprise that the content AI generates effectively publishes the private emails and even drafts.<p>I'll post the full text of the drafts and emails in a reply, to keep this submission short.
