That way, it’ll be deprecated after a year and we can move on

deleted by creator

lol. Harsh, but very fair.

Someone needs to rewrite the paperclip story but with Google being the creator and the objective to show ads

That or it’ll be responsible for 95% of humanity’s decision making while google claims it can’t be held liable because it’s a beta product with no warranty.

2024: Google Assistant formally deprecated in favor of Google Bard, now appearing on all new Android phones
2026: Google Bard development ceases and is left to languish as Google promotes their new Google Mobile Co-Pilot
2027: Bard finally ends service, Google Mobile Co-Pilot is rebranded to Messages Co-Pilot and is integrated into the Google Messages app for some reason so you have to basically text it for help
2029: Google Assistant is relaunched with new technology and Messages Co-Pilot now only responds to tell you to use Google Assistant instead

For communities outside programming.dev the community mods would need to request that the bot gets added for it to be usable since it functions on a whitelist due to bot rules in various instances

Enable for all communites I mod please, on my current lemmy.one account and on my @lemann@lemmy.world account 😁

Google will sue this comment for leaking the internal schedule of releases

This is still my favorite list of google products.

Pixel Pass was a program that allowed users to pay a monthly charge for their Pixel phone and upgrade immediately after two years. It was almost 2 years old.

Huh.

What a coincidence

Jesus.

They really are responsible for the enshittification of the web. So many great ideas that might have actually become something special if they hadn’t been bought, and subsequently shut down by Google.

From what I have heard before its more like google encourages “innovation” for promotions. This leads to a lot of people creating half baked ideas in order to get noticed for a promotion. Then after they are promoted and leave the team no one cares enough to keep it going and they just quit after it gets too hard.
