Indie Dev Claims Google Gemini Leaked Unreleased Character Name from Private Doc
SumitGup · x · 2026-08-07
An indie developer reported that when a player asked Google Gemini about future content for the game Operation Octo, the AI accurately revealed the unreleased character name 'Vantage Tripod'.
The developer stated that this highly specific name was never shared publicly, on Discord, or in game files, and existed solely in a private Google Doc. This raises significant privacy concerns about whether AI models are accessing or training on private user data.
