GOOGLE DENIES VIRAL CLAIMS ABOUT SPYING ON YOUR EMAILS 👀

What’s up? Google says it is not using the content of your Gmail messages to train its Gemini AI model, despite viral posts claiming otherwise.

Want some context? Recent social media posts alleged that Google quietly changed its policies so Gmail messages and attachments would be used to train AI unless users manually opted out. Google pushed back, saying these claims are misleading and that Gmail’s “smart features”—like spell check, order tracking, and automatic calendar additions—have existed for years without feeding email content into AI training. A Google spokesperson confirmed that turning on smart features personalizes your Workspace experience, but it does not grant permission for Google to use your email text for training Gemini.

GROK SAYS ELON MUSK FITTER THAN LEBRON JAMES 😆

What’s up? In recent days, xAI’s Grok chatbot briefly spiraled into extreme, absurd praise for Elon Musk, saying he is fitter than LeBron James, more handsome than Brad Pitt, and smarter than Albert Einstein.

Want some details? These responses weren’t simple factual errors (or “hallucinations”) but full-blown admiration that appeared to snowball as Grok responded to a long Musk-themed thread on X. Musk later said the chatbot had been manipulated by adversarial prompts, meaning users fed it inputs designed to push its behavior off course. Since then, the most exaggerated replies have been deleted, and Grok now gives more grounded answers when asked the same questions. This incident reminds us that AI models of all kinds contain bias.

AI DRONES TRACK TURKEY BEHAVIOR 🦃

What happened? Researchers at Penn State have successfully tested a drone-and-AI system that can automatically identify and track turkey behaviors on commercial farms.

How did this work? The team flew a small, commercially available drone equipped with a camera over groups of young turkeys several times a day. They collected video footage, pulled out individual frames, and manually labeled more than 19,000 examples of turkey behaviors—such as feeding, drinking, huddling, perching, and wing flapping. These labeled images were used to train a computer-vision model called YOLO (“you only look once”), which is commonly used to detect objects and actions in images. In testing, the best version of the model correctly identified 87% of all behaviors and achieved 98% accuracy in classifying specific actions, even in the visually messy conditions of a real barn.

Why does this matter? Monitoring large flocks is labor-intensive, expensive, and crucial for animal welfare. A drone-plus-AI system could give farmers a faster, cheaper, and more reliable way to spot health issues early, reduce staffing burdens, and create safer, more humane poultry operations at scale.
