    Thanks I’ll have to dig deeper. I figured out dumbing down Alexa but haven’t dug into Gemini yet.

    I just wish their was an alternative besides Apple and Google for car things. Sooner or later the choice of having it disabled is going to quietly go away.

      Turning off the assistant entirely isn’t a step I’d expect a lot of people to take (because they use the assistants). I think it’ll stick around if you can tolerate it, because it’s likely provided for certain parties that will be very irritated if that ability is removed.

      I not only can tolerate it, but it’s what I prefer. I wish they’d put “hold power button” back to show the restart dialog, I never used the assistant at all, and I even turned off that “google feed screen” that sits to the left of normal android screens. I love to disable junk.
