What do you give up for convenience?

The latest "feature" in Google+ allows you to ask Google when your bills are due. It sounds awesome, just ask your phone when the bill is done through Google and get an answer for when and how much you owe.
Is nothing private anymore?

You don't have to remember when the bill is due and you can just ask your phone. All of this also means that Google is scanning your e-mail for bills. We already knew Google could read what they want out of your e-mail, but when they are advertising it as a feature, it seems we've crossed the convenience/security/safety line somewhere.
