They’ve stuffed it into every page in Google cloud and workspace.

I tried it in sheets one time and it literally made up fake data for my analysis. Never trusting that again.

It "messaged" me in Google Messages today introducing itself and how it could summarize text messages on my phone for me

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 16 points 1 day ago

if a human sends me a text long enough to benefit from a summary that's a human that is being removed from my contacts.

Ah, I don't use most of Google's services, though I do use an Android device. I think my most used service is Drive. I haven't seen it on there.

I accidentally clicked on their stupid popup one time and then got emails over and over welcoming me to Gemini. I don't even have Google assistant installed.
