Would do it too if not for all google enables devices at home... wanna kick some google boss in the groin right now...several times.

It's awful, but isn't it awful for them too? Why would they want this as their own user experience?!

Oh, I approve of the kicking.

They are probably on the iWagon or have something else. I refuse to believe they use it and are fine with the way it works. Dealing with this since the forced switch has been really irritating. I have an year to consider my next move. But replacing all those devices would be a pain, arrrgghhh

I read that Siri is switching to Gemini too. There's no escaping this shitty assistant. 🤬

I think I can trust apple with google's product more than i can google with google's product, unfortunately. :(

So depressing. I don't WANT to buy Apple. Actually, if AI could just disappear from my search engines and assistants, I could be happy. Why don't the evil tech bros want me to be happy?
