Absolutely, I was pretty upset when Google added Gemini to their Messages app, then excited when the button (that you can't remove) was removed! Now I've updated Messages again and they brought the button back. Why would you ever need an LLM in a texting app?
Edit: and also Snapchat, Instagram, and any other social media app they're shoveling an AI chat bot into for no reason
Edit 2: AND GOOGLE TELLING ME "Try out Gemini!" EVERY TIME I USE GOOGLE ASSISTANT ON MY PHONE!!!!!
I'd rather talk to my cat than an AI chat bot
At least when you say certain keywords to your pets they show some emotions!
Try saying "potty?" to an LLM and decoding its response to gauge if it needs to go potty or not, Google!
My cats replies make more consistent sense and I don't need to worry about him plagiarizing something incorrectly.
It's farcical.
When a company introduces something consumers want, we will research and find a way to get it and use it ASAP. Nobody needs to interrupt our workflow to tell us about it. I don't remember getting any in-app notifications for the Gmail select all "feature," but I figured it out pretty damn quickly.
