They gon get tired then.

Ugh. Even if I wanted this product, their track record on long term product support has erased my trust. They never fixed connectivity for the Chromecast and now they've discontinued it. Why am I gonna buy something that breaks down or gets an expensive subscription in a couple of years.

Plus, if I post a video their stakeholders don't like on YouTube I risk getting locked out of every Google service including Gemini, all by automated processes and with no way to even talk to a human to explain my case. They are judge, jury and executioner within their ecosystem.

Anyone who didn't learn their lesson from the Nest debacle is a fool. I would never let another Google device into my home.

Can't if I don't have any of your stupid hardware.

Just wait a year or two and Google will kill Gemini on their own.

They're going to kill their name brand of "googling" things

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.

"Hey Co-Pilot, remove Gemini"

"Hey Gemini, remove Co-Pilot"

Let them fight it out. 😉

Let them be tired then.

Highly recommend people leave Google services. Use Ente to store photos. Proton for email. DuckDuckGo or Ecosia for search. Organic Maps for directions. FreeTube or yewtu.be for videos. Venice AI as your advanced chatbot. Google needs to be broken up and regulated.

Gonna be a long fucking night then.

The HomeAssistant ecosystem is a lot neater, it lets you do what you want without billionaires screwing with your life.

So, Google is desperately trying to find customers for its AI.

May they never rest.

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.

ain't no fucking google or gemini (except the gemini protocol, which is super cool) coming to my home

I mean, not my home.

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.

Well I guess Google will have a hard time resting then because it is nowhere in my home.

Google is a company with datacenters. It never rested anyway.

Also, f- these “AI” (surveillance mics)

to be fair amazon is the same with alexa+

What's neat, is that I can't holler and turn off my lights anymore, but now I also need to watch what I say about our glorious leadership.

It's honestly been a little disruptive in the car, which is one of my favorite places to be disrupted.

cocks gun

Get rested, bitch.

As they say, "no rest for the wicked."

Google's gonna be sleep deprived.

Looks like google has a lotta sleepless nights ahead.

Sometimes I wonder how much this is about a Top Down holistic strategy, or simply that every feature team in the org is adding "AI" stuff just to react to the pressure.

Still not in my home 🤣

I won't be having none of these fuckin' Googlers enterin' my home.

google like MS feeling the pressure of the AI bursting, trying to stave off thier decline with pushing AI into everything like MS is trying to do.

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.

if it's asking to be there it's already there

Sounds like Google will never rest then, because that shit will never be in my home.

Good luck with that goofle. I have no goofle account nor smart devices.
