This whole "don't train on my data" thing is so silly. Do you know how these models were created? By training them on code.

Very selfish / tragedy of the commons for you to want to use tools that were trained on the code of others but not your own. That is how these models get better.

I care much less about the training, much more about the data retention. I don't think it's wrong to not want my data retained, especially if the counterparty is receiving remuneration for the service. For free services, I agree with you. I've used the free Gemini liberally.

I do appreciate the transparency on their privacy page and their providing the ability to opt about. Seems like they've given it some thought.
