Might be an unpopular opinion but, this sounds really exciting to me. I hate fidgeting with my phone and always have been super interested in a true AI type assistant type thing.
It’s a shame no one should ever trust this, regardless of what company makes it.
Oh what the world could be.
Gemini would be only a system app right? Then I should be able to disable it too right? This is something Google app on your device already does I believe.
And yet they still probably won’t allow any third party app to have access to RCS via an API. FFS.
Wish the EU would start a lawsuit against them for that. It is blatantly anti-competitive and responsible for the death of so many messaging apps.
But I guess the EU is content with non-interoperable Whatsapp harvesting and gatekeeping the personal communication of almost every citizen. Even worse than Google Messages IMO.
So it will finally be able to do what “OK Google” should have been able to do from the beginning?
Not on my devices… Eff that
Sounds like a potential security hole. Hopefully there will be a way to fully disable it in the OS.
Certainly would make hijacking other apps more easy if you could access the API.
Oh hell no
And then people wonder why everyone is sitting on old Android versions. 😂
I think this will run on device similar to Apple Intelligences’s app intents.
Can’t wait for it to completely mangle all my alarms. Google assistants already tell me “you don’t have a list called grocery” when I ask if bread is on it, but is happy to add it to the list again when I tell it to.
That’s the whole point. Google assistant sucks because it only understands commands, and doesn’t understand natural language. This is Google’s attempt at making a truly great assistant, as they always envisioned it to be. Personally, I am very excited as there is a lot of potential in the technology. It would be a shame if they don’t execute well on it.
Dragon Ball Z has made tech headlines more interesting.
Glad I use GrapheneOS and don’t use any Google apps or services anymore it’s amazing how I no longer get spam calls and texts since the switch.
I de-google everything I can.
Same but I think it will soon not be enough. I still cant believe it’s now so difficult to not be a google product, this is a digital nightmare built by decades of unregulated capitalism. Kiss my ass GAFAM.
De-googling is not enough, there must be nothing to de-Google from the start.
Impressive at the same time it’s a bit too scary
