From the app:
"The Google Messages app creates suggestions with technology that’s built into your device. This way, your conversations stay in the Google Messages app. They aren’t sent to the Google Assistant or Google servers."

The article contradicts this point:
"There will be another, less contentious privacy issue with your Messages requests to Bard. These will be sent to the cloud for processing, used for training and maybe seen by humans—albeit anonymized. This data will be stored for 18-months, and will persist for a few days even if you disable the AI, albeit manual deletion is available."
This person shard a report on this issue for Ireland's Data Protection Commission: https://eupolicy.social/@thatprivacyguy/111839553765828301
What you seem to be missing is that the article did not have any actual source for its claims, it's just reporting an answer from an AI. What the article says is irrelevant, because all of it has been made up.
Your new link is even worse. It just quotes from this article, but conveniently omits the part about the original source being a chatbot.
It's quite amazing how gullible some people are. I can kind of understand HN commenters reading the headline, believing it, and commenting without reading the article. But this is somebody whose self-identity is so tied to online privacy issues that their handle is "thatprivacyguy", and they're literally filing official complaints with no fact checking despite obvious red flags, and wasting precious DPC resources on AI-generated slop.
It's Forbes.
And the person that shared "a report" only shared this same Forbes article.
1. Make up a lie that people want to believe
2. Get the lie published in some sketchy media outlet that doesn't fact check
3. When challenged that your lie is a lie, cite the sketchy media outlet as your evidence
4. Mix in LLM hallucinations for more fun and profit!
