ChatGPT could soon replace Google Assistant on your Android phone

"Sorry, as a language model I don't feel comfortable googling that for you. Have you considered clicking some nice ads instead?"

Misleading headline. What's actually happening is that the ChatGPT app will have the option of setting it as the default digital assistant app. It's not replacing Android Assistant.

All the commenters here complaining but have you guys used Google assistant in recent months? It's absolutely fucking useless.

If this piece of shit can at least field a simple request without responding with "sorry I don't understand" then it's at least a step up. The bar is so very low here.

This article seems kinda misleading. Even if you could set ChatGPT as your default assistant on Android it will not be triggered by a hotword like Google Assistant does.

Edit: It might be coming in Android 15.

"Apples could soon replace oranges in your fruit-based desserts"

I mean, honestly, what a worthless fucking title.

I am so happy there is AOSP / Distros actually making it usable.

Did you know Google does as little work as possible making their FOSS projects usable? Chromium, Chromebook Firmware, AOSP, ...

Its very interesting what GrapheneOS all needed to do, to make it work well. For example they translated the Google Pixel Carrier stuff to AOSP (which is not compatible with the PixelOS stuff!)

Great...just great.

How about they allow us to use the special assistant button from some manufacturers to be used for anything? Would be much more useful.
