I mean, if Bard can access those things, that means Google already had access in the first place. I also don't mind if that means I get to enjoy a better service overall.

The things I don't want Google to know about I have separate anyways

But individual users can target specific things to get out from the llm training data. I'm more okay with Google tuning it's spell check on my data than I am to letting anyone who knows how to ask my personality identifiable information. Even if I don't use Google drive/docs, someone else will use Google for their contacts, and then my security questions (why do companies still make people use those?!?) are public.
