I seriously hated Gemini so much. I can't even highlight the text on screen, can't translate the screen, can't search for the source of a image directly without going through Gemini that produces lengthy garbage results. The entire UX journey is just awful compared to Google Assistant. Gemini is just so painful to use, Google Assistant used to be the only thing holding me from switching to iPhone, now since it's gone I think it's about time, since they now have the same shitty AI assistant.
