I got tired of Google shoving AI down my throat in yet another place in my phone.
I’m surprised it even gave me the choice to “report and block”.
Glad they didn’t have the usual “Maybe later” button and you have a means to block it out completely.
For now.
I hate how “Maybe later” has replaced “No. Don’t ask me again.”
Enshitification at its best.
My pet peeve is m$ changing “My computer” to “This computer”. It’s no longer yours lol.
Do you know how many users on tech support calls thought the tech was talking about their own computer instead of the user’s? Or would just brainbreak into repeatedly yelling “it’s not my computer it’s my job’s/child’s/dog’s computer”?
Is this really what the non-FOSS android experience has become nowadays!? AI chatbots in your messages app? This seems absolutely miserable. I think I finally understand why there are so many iOS users out there.
Convenient to leave out Apple it’s working on AI (Apple Intelligence) too. I don’t think any big company is safe from the hype train.
Is Apple Intelligence even real? I don’t have any apple product myself but my parents have iphones and sometimes I use their ipad and I’ve never seen it or heard anyone talk about it IRL. Pretty sure it was just a prank/marketing trick
It’s only on the latest iphone, I don’t remember which iPads, and only the m-series macs. So far from what I’ve seen it’s not as aggressively annoying as Gemini with the chat app messages.
You can also turn off every AI feature with a single toggle in Settings, and it lets you choose whether to enable it during device setup. For now, at least.
I believe they have shelved Apple Intelligence for now because they can’t get the quality up to their standards.
Kind of a kick in the nuts to people who bought iPhone 16s in preparation.
Ah I see, makes sense. Thanks!
Apple has so much bloat, crapware like AI GenMoji don’t even play dumb lol
I’m not even playing dumb lol, I really am just dumb. If you scroll down a bit you can see that I didn’t even think that apple intelligence was a real product before someone corrected me
I didn’t even think that apple intelligence was a real product
The other day, I asked Meta AI how to deactivate it from WhatsApp. It recommended me to use a third party WhatsApp client. I always thought this was not allowed, but if meta itself recommends me this I guess it’s OK.
Thumbs up for reporting it as spam.
Oh hell yeah, doing it right now, too!
You can do that for other annoying "news"letter too. Simply search the sender, select a lot, report as spam
Yes, but you have also angered Roko’s Basilisk.
I did the same thing with Snapchats account. They won’t let me unfriend it but I could mute and rename it to “leave me the fuck alone”
That shit was permanently pinned at the top for me. I also named it “Dumb Bitch” and never interacted with it even once. Infuriating to say the least. What made me finally delete it and lose my thousands+ streaks was the ads. Rest in rip in actual piss Snapchat
That Gemini chat in messages is also completely useless, as they didn’t implement a memory so the bot will lose context and give irrelevant responses immediately at the first reply.
If this appears on my phone I’m going to have to decide whether to try to block it or keep it as a way to cuss at it when I’m in the mood to burn some of Google’s electricity bill
I am so sick of that meta ai button that can’t be disabled in WhatsApp that I constantly paste the bee movie script just to let them pay hundreds of thousands of useless tokens. Hopefully one day they will block me or let me block that shit
Literally the first thing I did.
It is likely that they don’t already have a way to exclude certain numbers from the report and block feather yet, but will implement one if the number of people blocking it gets too high.
The real lifeprotips is in the shitposts
Isnt Gemini 2.5 the best LLM ever?
Google forced my assistant to change to Gemini. The only thing that cursed machine has ever heard me say is “how do I switch back to the old Google Assistant?”
