>but if you have memory turned off they're putting something in the prompt like "Here's the user context, but don't use it". Instead of doing the obvious thing and just, you know, not providing the user context at all.

But there's no indication the OP turned off the feature? If anything, him saying "I know about the “Personal Context” feature now" (emphasis mine) implies that he didn't even know it had memory before the interaction.

My assumption would have been that it was default-off, the user didn't know about it at all, then found out about it through this thinking leak.

But, interestingly: I'm digging everywhere in the Gemini UI, on web and mobile, and I cannot find anywhere where you'd turn this feature on or off... on a Workspace account. Does that make a difference? I don't know. Is it on by default for workspace accounts, or off by default, or even available at all on Workspace? No idea.

Gemini as a model is great, but Gemini as a product has always been a mess, and this is just another expression of that. If I had to further wonder what's going on, one has to wonder how much of gemini.google.com is written by Gemini.

From the support.google.com link above:

> You’re in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom.

		Fair. As a lifetime workspace user, essentially never having had a normal google account, I'm very used to it at this point.
