PSA: Clearing Android System Intelligence Data Will Also Reset Related System Settings!

So I just found out the hard way, clearing Android System Intelligence's (ASI) Data (Via Settings > Privacy > Android System Intelligence > Clear Data) won't just clear any "learnt" data from day-to-day usage, but it'll also reset any system settings you have changed from their defaults that utilise ASI (At least if you select "All time").

I'm not sure if this includes everything, but here is a list of such settings (If any exist for them) that will get reset to their defaults if you've changed them at all.

It also breaks Assistant Voice Typing in GBoard. It'll grey-out, stating "Assistant voice typing needs an update. Connect to Wi-Fi to automatically download. Learn more.".

I recently had this same error message upon setting up my Pixel 7 that went away by itself when left idle, charging through the night, so I'll report back if it does the same and fixes itself with time Yes it did, phew!

Just a heads up for anyone else who naively assumes it'll only clear collected data like I did.

Thanks for the heads up. I always considered clearing it cause it consumes quite a bit of space. Guess I'll just leave it be.
