I gave Gemini my search history, and now I’m scared by how well it now knows me

Listen, I’ve seen all the movies, and every fiber of my being tells me that less is more when it comes to AI. I mean, the last thing I want is for something embedded through my apartment to go HAL 9000 on me and leave my cats wondering what went wrong. And yet, when Google allowed me to let Gemini browse through my search history to better understand me as a user, I signed right up. Here’s why.

Why on Earth did you give Gemini your entire search history?
