Further reason to avoid google's shit like the fuckin plague.

The videos are never associated with a user’s identity and are deleted after the verification process. Audio is never recorded.

My fat fucking ass do any of this. Google is just as data hungry as everyone else, they will absolutely save it, and feed it to their AI to enhance their ability to generate realistic people.

Exactly. In a few years, there will be some breach, and it will come out that Google "accidentally" saved everything, and they are shocked and appalled that the gosh darn AI that did it.
