  • I mean there were no instructions up front because literally Google is refusing to give them, basically.
    No more choice just the company force feeding the user and saying it’s good for them.

    Nowhere in the email or any of the Support pages did Google say how to remove all Gemini integrations from my phone.
    I then emailed Google PR and… I asked if someone could provide actionable guidance for my readers who want to ensure Gemini integrations are completely disabled. Instead of answering the question, the person responding to my email wrote, in part: “This update is good for users: they can now use Gemini to complete daily tasks on their mobile devices like send messages, initiate phone calls, and set timers while Gemini Apps Activity is turned off. With Gemini Apps Activity turned off, their Gemini chats are not being reviewed or used to improve our AI models.”

    Literally that reads like you can’t turn it off and they just scrape less of your data on a technicality.















  • I dunno about you but I think to many people have decided that if it comes from computer it’s logical or accurate. This is just the next step in that except the computer just is a chat bot told to “yes and” working backwards to decide it’s accurate because it’s a computer so we tweak what it says until it feels right.
    It didn’t start right it’s likely not ending there unlike say finding the speed of gravity.

    Like this whole system works on people’s already existent faith in just that computers are giving them facts, even this garbage article is just getting what it wants to hear more than anything useful. Even if you tweak it to be less like that doesn’t make it more accurate or logical it just makes it more like what you wanted to hear it say.
