I tried to ask it how I could remove it, Gemini told me that in order for me to help it I needed to active some of the "smart" features I didn't have active on my account, essentially helping do the opposite. It follows the ever increasing practice of trying to shove basically illegal behavior into "it's just the algorithm, bro, there was no intent!"

Wanted to say it feels like Microsoft doing same thing with Copilot, but at least you can disable that. At least on enterprise plans, home / small business apperently is a different story now.
I wasn't able to disable Copilot in Office without threatening to cancel via my account management page. It's only then that they give you the option to fall back to the originally priced plan that specifically doesn't include Copilot. And even after that, Copilot apparently won't be removed from my locally installed copies of the Office apps until my plan renewal date in April! I'm pretty sure I'm gonna use the time to transition all my documents to LibreOffice and fully cancel my MS Office plan before it renews.
Where are they putting it, chrome? Just use Firefox instead.
I use gmail at work and I see the logo in chats, email, drive, docs, and I'm not sure where else. Its annoying when I'm typing an email and it tries to get me to use it. I don't know how to get rid of it either.
My employer is switching from Microsoft to Google for office tools next month and they’ve been championing its availability to all of us. I’m not looking forward to it…

Every Google Drive action I do now is shifted over 20% for ✨
They're laying down the road and try to get you to use it. The toll booths come soon enough when every alternative gets blocked as much as possible.
The good news is that this may cure my laziness. I've been preparing to leave most of google service for a while now.
Is it bad that I stopped using Google docs and plan on moving to OpenOffice instead?
Open office. Or libre office. Also. Don't give Google your data like that bro

I just tried it for the first time. I like how it tried to educate me
I didn't like the verbosity overall
It felt dumb that using it via android studio it didn't have any capacity. It didn't know I was building for android. It couldn't implement any of its own suggestions and a lot of the suggestions were incomplete.
After asking chatgpt, Gemini and deepseek I still can't get Godot to build an android export that contains the sqlite shared object accessible to the code.
I'm losing my mind.
