Google has replaced the Google Assistant app on Android with Gemini by default
Google is now changing Assistant to Gemini by default when you download the Assistant app from the Play Store or update it.
This means:
- Downloading or updating the Assistant app now gives you Gemini instead.
- You can switch back to Assistant in the Gemini app settings.
- This might be Google's first step towards replacing Assistant completely with Gemini.
- Some users are unaware of the switch and see two Gemini apps on their phones.
Overall, this may suggest Google is phasing out Assistant and transitioning users to the newer Gemini AI technology.
You're viewing a single thread.
it's not as if the default assistant was actually good. can't make it any worse, at least
And somehow they did. It can't interact with things like lights that the other one can.
It's got extra nazi, apparently. So, if that's your thing, I guess it's an improvement?
/s (it does have lots of nazi though)
I don't know what that means.
There was some Internet outrage the other day: Google pauses Gemini’s ability to generate people after overcorrecting for diversity in historical images
