welp, it might be time to say "RIP Google Assistant" https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/03/google-assistant-might-be-doomed-division-reorganizes-to-focus-on-bard/

this is Allo all over again. (allo-ver again, if you will)

#Google #GoogleAssistant #GoogleBard #AI #Allo #GoogleAllo

Can’t believe how deep I dug into some of Google’s products in the past..
The 2 main problems I have with #Google products is:

#Obsolescence
Anyone remember #GoogleInbox #GoogleDuo #GoogleAllo #GoogleHangouts #GoogleStadia or #WorksWithNest? (KilledByGoogle.com)
Why would I buy a product that I know won’t be supported a year later?

And
#Privacy
I feel alone with the concern over privacy. The concerns I have advertising profiles being built with our data, #Ai being trained with our data, and governments given access to our data.

I’ve been slowly replacing them all, mostly with #Apple products; the lesser evil.
