Builders
If you use Google, you're training its AI. Here's how to opt out.
Google 更新隐私设置,默认用媒体数据训练 AI,用户可手动退出
Recommended because
This is worth tracking because it is a concrete builder signal, not just a passing headline. The original source is useful for validating the details behind the headline. For builders and operators, "If you use Google, you're training its AI. Here's how to opt out." can be used as a checkpoint for shipping faster, improving internal workflows, and spotting repeatable builder patterns. I keep this thread indexed so future searches around AI builder tips, agent workflows, prompts, and implementation patterns can land on a source-linked page instead of disappearing into a fast-moving feed from techcrunch.com.
What to take from this signal
Context
"If you use Google, you're training its AI. Here's how to opt out." is archived here as a source-linked AI signal from techcrunch.com. The useful part is the connection between Google, training, Here, how, opt and shipping faster, improving internal workflows, and spotting repeatable builder patterns, which makes the item more actionable than a normal feed headline. The source context says: Google 于 6 月通过客户邮件低调更新了搜索服务隐私设置,新增"搜索服务历史"和"个性化推荐"两项开关,默认将用户上传的图片、文件、音频和视频录制等媒体数据保存并用于训练 AI 模型。该更新适用于搜索、地图、购物、航班、酒店、翻译、新闻等服务。用户可通过取消勾选"保存媒体"框来退出,同时可设置数据自动删除周期(3/18/36 个月)。此前独立的网络与应用活动设置不再影响搜索服务数据保留。Meta 等其他公司也在大规模收集用户媒体数据用于 AI 训练。
Builder takeaway
For an AI builder, the main takeaway is to watch how this signal changes practical decisions around tooling, prompts, agent loops, implementation speed, and repeatable workflows. It can inform what to test next, which product surface to compare, and whether the underlying workflow is ready for real users.
