I was shocked when I couldn’t switch back to Google Assistant today. I had tried out gemini for months a while back, and it does not control my phone well. I don’t need advanced AI to remind me to move the laundry in two hours or remind me of my mother’s birthday each year. Or to queue up a specific song on spotify. Also, advanced AI is cumbersome at those things. It’s a real bummer.

I’m assuming this is a way to artificially inflate user numbers to shareholders.

This sucks.

    Well when the replacement assistant touts its AI-ness… Seems reasonable to me

      Anyone who wants an assistant on their phone, shouldn’t be allowed to breed, drive, or vote.

        That’s a pretty silly length to take that opinion if it’s what you truly believe. If you’re just exaggerating, that’s pretty silly too
