The incident
A Gemini subscriber who enabled the 'don't save any of my info' option says a homework image generation included his specific keychain from abroad and a painting his uncle made for his mother, hanging in his living room.
Aftermath
- When questioned, Gemini called it coincidence, said it had never seen his home and collects no data, then stopped responding to further questions;
- The user says the experience scared him into quitting Gemini;
- Unverifiable whether it's leakage, training contamination or chance, but it raises questions about whether privacy toggles actually work.
