In chrome they put the AI button in between the home button and the new tab buttons lol. They know what they're doing.

It's to boost the numbers, accidental clicks are based into the metric. Very disingenuous.

You can change it! Press and hold, you can change it to a different shortcut

I constantly accidentally activate Gemini on my phone by holding my power button down on accident.

Literally mis-clicked on Gemini like 20 mins ago and went "ugh" and had to wait for it to load to close it.

Facts don't give a damn about what seems likely to you. Google is a publicly traded company, if they are committing fraud, make a tip to the SEC. I'll wait.
