Whenever I ask Gemini on Android, about my past conversations with it, it claims that it works on a privacy model where it only knows about the current conversation.
Trying to deliberately ask it what it knows about me, it claims nothing.
However, occasionally it will make a reference to something I said many months ago. (Example, had a conversation about Rhododendron Honey and months later it referenced that previous conversation despite claiming not to remember anything about me).
It makes me wonder if Google has told it to lie about not having access to previous conversations so people get less worried about privacy. I honestly find it more worrying that it claims to store nothing (but clearly does) than ChatGPT/Claude which you can ask questions directly about what it has remembered about you, and past conversations. I kinda find Gemini's dishonesty a bit concerning as it is deliberate deceit.
