On Survey: Google has a growing Gemini problem that's hard to ignore ·
I just wish I had the option to go back to the original locally-run Google Assistant. I don't want to ask my alarm clock a question; I want to set an alarm. I don't want to ask my lamp a question; I want it to turn on. Gemini works (most of the time), but the things I do are so simple that they really don't need to be run through an LLM and a data center. It's just wasteful. It's not good resource management.

Useful for when you're travelling and want to avoid giving your business to communities that are OK with this kind of thing. Luckily I'm a male so I don't really have to worry about being stalked by a cop, but there's still enough false positives and data-breach risks that this kind of tool is invaluable. People are already getting pulled out of their cars and attacked by police dogs, one of these days an innocent person is going to get shot on their way to the grocery store and it sure as hell won't be me.
