I got a work email yesterday that was basically an advertisement for Gemini. Apparently my work will be holding contests using it. There are no details yet, but I find it all absurd. The work I do is in-person and client-facing, I don't know what they plan to even use an LLM for in this scenario. Maybe for writing notes? Our notes contain private, confidential medical information. No way in hell am I feeding that into Gemini.

I'm not shy about taking an ethical stand point (I left a job last year because upper management created an unethical environment.) I'm prepared to conscientiously object the forced use of AI, if it comes down to it. Between my clients' right to privacy, Google's lack of concern for privacy, and the horrific environmental impact that builds AI in the first place, this entire venture is highly questionable. I have to wonder how much money changed hands for this to even come about.
