You can't tell Google Assistant shit anymore, they killed it to force people to use Gemini, which is objectively terrible as an assistant.

    I know, that's why my suggestion for improving Gemini was that they should add an option to go back to Assistant.

    Ah, I thought you meant as in tricking Gemini to use Assistant somehow. Yeah, that would be great. It's insane they got rid of it at all but Google loves killing cool/useful shit.

    I'm still salty about Photosphere.

    Honestly, with all the salt I have about them, I'm worried about my kidneys. I had my gripes with Assistant and didn't personally use it much, but for hands-free operation, for example listening and responding to text messages without having to look away from the road, it was really useful.

    Recently, when my wife tried answering a message, her phone apparently just responded "You seem upset" and ended the conversation. I guess that was a self-fulfilling prophecy...
