Gemini keeps asking me to turn on Personal Intelligence, but I'm keeping it off — sort of

The Gemini Personal Intelligence feature on an Android phone.

This month, Gemini unveiled a new feature called Personal Intelligence that aims to save you time by leveraging almost everything Google knows about you. It's opt-in, and users can tailor exactly which information Gemini can access from connections like Gmail and Google Photos. If you're a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscriber like me, you've probably been greeted with a "Supercharge Gemini with Personal Intelligence" pop-up over the last few weeks.

Personal Intelligence launched Jan. 14, and I've been asked to try Personal Intelligence a few times since then, with pop-ups appearing in the Gemini app on different devices.

You can always change your choice at any time, but should the average user try out Personal Intelligence or steer clear of it?
