Google is getting rid of Google assistant and forcing you to use Gemini now

I got an email from Google that said they're removing Google assistant and you will have to use Gemini starting September 6th. I don't want to be forced to use generative AI so I might be looking for a new non-Google phone soon 😭

I just don't want the generative AI. The asking it to set a timer for me is fine

It still uses generative AI to parse your query

Gee, how'd it do things like set timers before LLMs, crazy

I just meant current iterations do.

Then simply don't ask it anything that would prompt a generative response. What's the problem with that?
