Google is building a lifestyle profiling engine, not a “helpful assistant.” Their upcoming “agentic” AI search which they intend to force on users within months—is a pure AI-based system that profiles, tracks, makes automated decisions, and analyzes lifestyle patterns, all of which is explicitly forbidden under the GDPR. Google forces this system on the user by making it a condition of service: if you don’t agree, you cannot use the service. This is not genuine consent; it is coerced compliance, which is legally invalid. Google attempts to hide behind “legitimate interest” to justify this, but my personal data cannot be subject to “legitimate interest” processing when the system is designed for profiling, tracking, or automated decision-making. This is not a “helpful assistant”; this is an automated surveillance engine that violates the law, and Google is forcing it upon everyone.
Google keeps selling the “Omni” and “Spark” AI models as if they were the next big technological revolution, even though these models don’t actually exist yet. There’s no API, no documentation, no access, nothing. Just keynote‑level hype designed to distract people from what’s really happening.
Behind the scenes, Google is pushing everything in a completely different direction: mandatory login, mandatory personalization, mandatory consent. Every new AI feature is built so it only works if you’re logged in, and only continues if you click “I agree.” This isn’t a technical requirement — it’s a legal trick. That way Google can later say you personally authorized personalized AI processing, and from that point on every kind of data handling becomes “legitimate interest.”
Personalization is just profiling with a nicer name. Google sells it as “better experience,” “custom answers,” “personalized AI,” but in reality it means behavioral analysis, data collection, search profiling, and activity tracking. Exactly the things Google denies in the Dashboard.
Meanwhile, search results are slowly disappearing. The new AI‑based search gives fewer results, fewer links, fewer sources, and more AI‑generated text, more PR‑filtered answers, more “safe” responses. Google decides what you see, not you. This is already visible in how Gemini Overview works.
And this fits perfectly with the direction shown in the Google I/O 2026 keynote: Google wants fewer clicks, fewer searches, and more decisions handed over to Gemini. Search won’t be a list of results anymore — it becomes an edited answer. YouTube won’t just show videos — Gemini will jump inside them and find the “important part” for you. Shopping won’t happen in separate stores — Google wants everything in one AI‑controlled cart. And with XR and smart glasses, Gemini won’t even be an app anymore, but a layer that follows you everywhere.
Omni and Spark are just props. Google announces a huge AI revolution, kills the traditional search model, hides the real results, forces you into consent, and then says: “You allowed it.” That’s the real strategy. Not AI development — a legal loophole wrapped in AI hype.
The new Google AI is not a breakthrough, not a revolution, not an “all‑knowing model.” It’s a data‑protection workaround. And anyone paying attention can see exactly what’s going on.
Google’s “Privacy” marketing:
Google says: “You are in control.”
In reality: “We force surveillance on you, and if you don’t like it, you can go somewhere else.”
Google attempts to circumvent Article 6 of the GDPR using this “login = consent” trick. I am exposing this exact legal loophole: this is not a genuine choice, it is a system based on extortion. Article 6 of the GDPR defines the legal basis for processing personal data; it dictates the conditions under which a company—like Google—is permitted to process your data at all. In practice, “logging in” is a “digital waiver” of your privacy rights.
This is what the AI summary on Google’s own site writes about my post:
Topic summary
Bitu79 criticizes Google’s upcoming “agentic” AI search, arguing that it functions as a lifestyle profiling and automated surveillance engine rather than a helpful assistant. The user contends that Google is violating the GDPR by forcing user consent through mandatory logins and terms of service, creating a system of coerced compliance rather than genuine choice. Bitu79 argues that “personalization” is merely a cover for behavioral tracking and data collection, which Google leverages to claim “legitimate interest” under GDPR Article 6. Furthermore, they assert that Google’s heavily marketed upcoming AI models, like “Omni” and “Spark,” currently lack APIs or documentation and serve as hype to distract from this surveillance pivot. The transition toward AI-driven search (such as Gemini Overviews) is described as a move to reduce external search results, clicks, and user autonomy, pushing instead for an AI-controlled ecosystem across search, shopping, YouTube, and XR smart glasses. Ultimately, Bitu79 warns that Google’s new AI strategy is not a technological breakthrough, but a calculated legal loophole designed to bypass data protection laws by forcing users into a “digital waiver” of their privacy rights.
