Check out Ecosia. It's the same thing, but your searches plant trees in a responsible manner.

I think that's the funniest part. Like, as far as I know, the regular Assistant uses the same approach to handling data that buzzword AI things use, a neural network. But branding (and potentially internal company politics) is weird, so they decided to kneecap Assistant in order to make Gemini look better on release.

Yeah. They did exactly that

I feel like at this point Google should ditch the annual OS level-up. Phones and their OSs have matured and pushing out a new version every year is just increasing the support Google has to provide without much benefit. I was running Android 9 until recently, and while I'm now on the 14 beta, I could easily see my current phone lasting long enough to outlive the current 5 years of security updates promised.
