I'm all for hating Google or whatever but this just sounds like they're finally giving Gemini all the missing Google Assistant parts. You know so you can tell the damn thing to do things like add a new todo to todoist. Basic shit that worked years ago before Gemini broke it all and made it only work with Google's own apps in a monopolistic fashion Apple would be proud of.

What's confusing about disabling any Gemini integrations in your apps? Don't want Gemini to access todoist? Turn it off or deny the permission or whatever. So scary. This is basic Android 101.

Yeah this seems to be a standard AI scare mongering article for clicks. Seen a couple places run the same story. Not sure how people are able to read this as "Google is forcing you to send all texts to them."
