Google is on a determined mission to make Gemini an indispensable part of our daily routines. With deeper integrations into popular apps like Spotify and the Pixel 9 series shipping with Gemini as the default assistant, it’s clear that Google has ambitious plans for its AI model.
The tech giant has been strategically enhancing Gemini’s functionality with new extensions. After adding extensions for Google apps like Keep, Tasks, and Calendar, along with YouTube and YouTube Music, recent findings suggest even more exciting additions are on the horizon.
An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.
In the Google app version 15.34.32.29.arm64 beta, we could enable the toggles for new Gemini extensions for WhatsApp, Google Messages, and Android system notifications. While they aren’t working just yet, their official descriptions provide a glimpse into what they might offer.
Well, knowing what gemini is about I fully expect the assistant to enforce using custom pronouns and “inclusive” language or else you will be cut off the service.
Yes, because they totally are enforing that hare-brained move on the other platforms they own, like on Youtube and sites returned in the search 🙄.
They don’t give a singular shit about your politics, or about inclusivity. They care about money. They only care about avoiding bad PR if it gets bad enough to impact their money.
You all keep complaining about this shit, but the most I’ve seen any of these companies do is toss an incredibly lazy word filter up on posting stuff publicly, and on rare occasions taking manual action after enough reports or against celebrities.
Seems like a cool idea but, so far with Gemini on my Pixel, I hate that I can’t tell what’s on device and what’s in the cloud and I ended up uninstalling it. I’m not sure Google needs to know more about me than they already do.
Supposedly the phone can run local models but I’ve only seen it in the recorder app, which isn’t really that useful, especially after all of the hype around Tensor, AICore and Gemini Nano.
I’m not sure Google needs to know more about me than they already do.
But then why would they want to give you Gemini if not for your data
I doubt they sell Pixel devices to profit from the hardware sale, they sell them to push the market in the direction they want, as well as to hoover up your data.
So instead of playing their game, I just installed GrapheneOS the day I got my Pixel, and it’s been fantastic.
Knowing about prompt injections, I really don’t like the growing integration of LLM inside real applications
I do not want this on my device at all. What are my options for my next phone that will replace my aging pixel 6 that won’t include Gemini?
You can still install the Google camera app alongside the GrapheneOS camera app. Double tapping power button still takes you to the built in camera (but you at least have the option of either app). https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera
You don’t need a different device, just root it and unlock the bootloader to disable the AI stuff..
I switched back to assistant, because Gemini still can’t do everything I am using the assistant for
