The headline seems a little inflammatory. It requires the user to explicitly select a region to share.

Google is making Gemini a lot more aware of what's happening inside Chrome. The company has started rolling out a new "Select from screen" feature that lets users highlight specific text or images from a webpage and send them directly to Gemini, making conversations with the AI assistant far more contextual.

It's baffling that over and over and over, every fucking time a corporation does this shit, there's someone willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I like to deal with facts and measured responses instead of being instantly reactionary 🤷

At some point, you become a useful idiot.

Don't fall for the trap. These people do not deserve the benefit of the doubt about anything. Stop giving it to them.
