I don't understand why people don't consider business messages as ads. Businesses have been paying WhatsApp to be able to send marketing material as a message since 2018. Just because the business knows my phone number, it doesn't stop becoming an ad.

Google seems to have released an update to Gemini. Its responses now are brief and well formatted.
I prefer Gemini over ChatGPT now for standard use on my phone.
Can't wait for Gemini Live on Android Auto.

The AI industry promises a lot more but voice assistants have finally arrived.
I blanked out for a bit, as I do, while asking Gemini to add a calendar event. But it figured out what I wanted and what else I needed to say for making it happen.
Finally, the promise of Google Assistant is here.

Turned out very well for us.
