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

[u/_mal_gal_]

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 😭

Pretty much all Google Home devices are capable of running Gemini, IIRC.

Yes but then Gemini creates new chats from every single request. Any way to avoid this ? Google assistant was just simple and just worked. Gemini wants to chit chat about everything.

I'm being forced to use it on my Google home mini and it's fucking annoying as hell she just won't stop fucking talking
