Pitfalls to watch at work
Gemini in Google Docs
- Ask the model to take numbers only from the block you give and to write [CAUSE, confirm] where it wants to fill gaps: otherwise the explanation gets invented causes for variances
- The panel can pull any Drive file by link: make sure data from unrelated matters does not end up in the document
- After inserting a draft, check every figure against the source: the model rounds and flips signs without warning
Reflect
- An AI request sends the note text to a model in the cloud; encryption covers storage only
- It is a tool for one person, with limited team collaboration
- Keep daily notes with colleagues' names and ratings outside the service if the company might take an interest in them
