I find it funny when they read my school emails and then accuse themselves of phishing after they accuse me of holding malware in my drive, icing on the cake really, I won’t even need this email in a month.

That said though, just like others have mentioned, making users opt out of getting all the data wringed out of their account isn’t the most ethical strategy and frankly it’s a bit over the top.

They already scan everything from your Google drive to your YouTube recommended, google news feed, docs files, and just you browsing and using that as data for advertising and their AI. I don’t think emails are the best source of personalised information nor would assist in training new Gemini models unless they want to build an email spam bot.

The content is also AI generated. NotebookLM and it’s feature to make videos based on sources the user provides generates a full video, and it’s 1 click unless the user wants to add a prompt for the video. A dead giveaway for this full video being generated is the thumbnail, which is from the classic visual style preset and is usually the first slide.

There is also the NotebookLM watermark in the bottom right, which is also a giveaway.

I haven’t watched the video at all but from the thumbnail it’s a NotebookLM video. The only time I would remotely trust or even recognise an AI video is if I choose to generate one, even then though, they’re usually shit.
