If we put aside the environmental damage and the capitalist aspects of LLMs, I fail to see why I should change the way I use my devices to let some hallucinating algorithm do stuff. The only times I use it is when I'm really stumped coming up with relevant search results, and even then there's more than 50% chance that it's not gonna achieve some break through.

I don't want Gemini. I want Google to Keep Android Open.

Does anyone else notice AI just being referred to as "intelligence" in the media a lot now? Seems very sudden and very sus.

I so wasn't sold I'm not an android user anymore.

all I want was improvement to Google Assistant. I don’t want Gemini. I don’t want AI I don’t want any of this. I just want basic improvements to Google search and Google Assistant. Is that so hard to ask for?

I'm not going to embrace the spyware, thanks.

I just disable Gemini, not interested. When I need ai - I just open chatgpt or deepseek or any other app

Removed the app, moving to gOS. Its far too invasive and I am just sick of using google anything.

gee, i wonder why...

I have a Pixel 10, first thing I did was to install LawnChair 16 launcher to remove the fucking google search bar, and I never use assistant/gemini, I have never talk to my phone too. The only thing I used that is nice is the "press and hold bottom screen then you can circle anything to search for it" I must say this is useful, instead of screenshot and going into google lens or whatever.

That's alright, they'll suck it up eventually. Along with 'age control' de-anonymization.

Gemini is garbage, it's always wrong.

I had my first real encounter with Gemini while using Android Auto. In my experience, it's a great improvement over Google Assistant. GA couldn't tell me what the temperature was a year ago on this day. Gemini handles this and complex questions easily.
