Testing Google's Gemini Spark AI agent: it's incredible, and creepy (theverge.com) AI

The Verge’s David Pierce reports testing Google’s Gemini Spark always-on AI agent for actions like managing Gmail and searching Docs, then using it to generate an unusually detailed, personalized trip plan for a Hershey, Pennsylvania family weekend. He says Spark’s ability to pull in information (including items he didn’t explicitly provide) and schedule nuanced details feels both impressive and “deeply creepy,” highlighting concerns about privacy and how much personal data users must share for such agents to be useful.
