Google. You have gone and fucked up yet again.

Archive: https://archive.today/ikx3f

From the post:

>While I was driving, I received a text message from my father with 3-4 pictures and some of his typical dad jokes. Android Auto prompted me with a new feature "Summarize Messages". Usually I'm strongly against these features but curiosity got the better of me so I clicked "Turn on". Then I clicked "Summarize" on my father's message. It started giving me a detailed summary of names that are not in any of my contacts or my actual social circle, e.g. "Zach and Melanie are planning to visit NYC this summer". I'm not sure if it was truly another person's summary of some canned dev message. But now I'm a bit worried Google is giving other users my SMS history.

Ill at least partially agree with that. The reason I say it is lying is because a lot of people see what is generated and take it as an authoritative answer and just "trust it". Then again, people are kind of stupid and when told to trust something is right they tend to do so.
