I don’t care how much Google pushes Gemini. I trust any chinese company more
As they say, “no rest for the wicked.”
They’re messing with Gmail, Google Sheets and Calendar a bit much for my comfort, my business relies on these to work with no change to any part of the product and perfectly. Adding non deterministic tools to these is them walking on a tight rope as I won’t be dealing with fallout from the mistakes and issues caused due to Google spiking unsolicited non opt out “features” to my business workflow.
I had to install an app on my TV for the first time in ages. There was no way to proceed without allowing Gemini. The main change seems to be other speakers in the house now make comments on my app choices.
Sounds like time to RMA the product, as you got something other than what you purchased.
Just wait a year or two and Google will kill Gemini on their own.
The HomeAssistant ecosystem is a lot neater, it lets you do what you want without billionaires screwing with your life.
“Hey Co-Pilot, remove Gemini”
“Hey Gemini, remove Co-Pilot”
Let them fight it out. 😉
They’re going to kill their name brand of “googling” things
Looks like google has a lotta sleepless nights ahead.
ain’t no fucking google or gemini (except the gemini protocol, which is super cool) coming to my home
I think alot of folks have been going the other direction considering it doesn’t work nearly as well as the old assistant. When they pushed the new shit to the Google home devices and everything stopped working we just stopped using it and have no desire to go back.
I won’t be having none of these fuckin’ Googlers enterin’ my home.
They gon get tired then.
Google is a company with datacenters. It never rested anyway.
Also, f- these “AI” (surveillance mics)
But it is so bad. I don’t understand how with all the data they have about everyone their Gemini integrations in their products suck so much. Can’t make a proper task from the email list. Can’t find docs related to meetings. It is all literally in their systems.
Their product managers are so shortsighted. Jam half-assed stuff and pat themselves on the back.
I know people will probably disagree but I like the fact that Apple has stepped back on AI and slowed down. I suspect once they finally release something. It may actually be useful and probably opt-in/out. Whether the op-out is actually real is another debate.
Take Gemini out of it… Lets say you get spam in Gmail and you mark it “Block Sender”.
It doesn’t actually block them, it just routes it to the Spam folder. If you’re super lucky, it routes it to Trash. At no point are they blocked from sending to you.
LOL also “All Mail” is NOT all mail. And their search function is and has been broken for as long as I can remember. How Google continues to fuck up such basic functions of their core products and yet people will shell out to use it, I will never understand.
