    And yet they still probably won’t allow any third party app to have access to RCS via an API. FFS.

    Glad I use GrapheneOS and don’t use any Google apps or services anymore it’s amazing how I no longer get spam calls and texts since the switch.

        Same but I think it will soon not be enough. I still cant believe it’s now so difficult to not be a google product, this is a digital nightmare built by decades of unregulated capitalism. Kiss my ass GAFAM.

    So it will finally be able to do what “OK Google” should have been able to do from the beginning?

    Might be an unpopular opinion but, this sounds really exciting to me. I hate fidgeting with my phone and always have been super interested in a true AI type assistant type thing.

    It’s a shame no one should ever trust this, regardless of what company makes it.

    Oh what the world could be.

    Can’t wait for it to completely mangle all my alarms. Google assistants already tell me “you don’t have a list called grocery” when I ask if bread is on it, but is happy to add it to the list again when I tell it to.

      That’s the whole point. Google assistant sucks because it only understands commands, and doesn’t understand natural language. This is Google’s attempt at making a truly great assistant, as they always envisioned it to be. Personally, I am very excited as there is a lot of potential in the technology. It would be a shame if they don’t execute well on it.
