The headline is a little unclear on the issue here.
It is not surprising that Gemini will summarize a document if you ask it to. "Scanning" is doing heavy lifting here; The headline implies Google is training Gemini on private documents, when the real issue is Gemini was run with a private document as input to do a summary when the user thought they had explicitly switched that off.
That having been said, it's a meaningful bug in Google's infrastructure that the setting is not being respected and the kind of thing that should make a person check their exit strategy if they are completely against using The new generation of AI in general.
