Google is killing the "classic Google Assistant" on "most mobile devices" and replacing it with Gemini to bring generative AI to more phones. Gemini is also coming to more tablets, cards, headphones, watches, and other phone-connected devices. #Gemini #GoogleAssistant #AI #VirtualAssistant blog.google/products/gemini/go

Google · The Assistant experience on mobile is upgrading to GeminiBy Brian Marquardt

This is odd. Over the last few days my Android phone has occasionally randomly spoken out loud "I'm sorry, I don't understand."

I know that's Google Assistant but here's the thing: I have all the Assistant settings turned off, and even if I didn't it's happened when there is absolutely no possibility of it mis-hearing some other sound. Such as just now when I'm completely alone in the house with no TV/radio/etc playing. Or even at 2:30am when I'm fast asleep.

I know the answer is almost certainly "sorry, but a ghost lives in your phone now" but it's still weird. And it's quite annoying to be woken up at 2:30am by any kind of ghost.
