it’s becoming harder to fully turn off or remove.

They’re going to phase out assistant almost completely, migrating features to gemini. Realistically the privacy of assistant was not better, but gemini uses a fully functional LLM and not a huge if-else-switch statement for standard commands.

I think they have the upper hand over AI companies as they own the internet and youtube for training purposes.

But gemini wants to be my friend if I don’t stop it, and it’s creepy and weird.
