Fun anecdote - yesterday my new phone overheard me say something about rescheduling a vacation day. It then proceeded to add a "Vacation" booking on a completely random day.
Naturally I asked it what the fuck it was doing, and demanded it remove its permissions to edit my calendar. It quickly apologized, then assured me it had removed its capability to edit my calendar. I told it to not lie to my fucking face, realizing it could not in fact update its own permissions. It apologized again, presumably for being a pathological liar / asshole.
Then I disabled Gemini on my phone, and won't be using it again. Thanks google!
