    I have been saying for years my phone was so much smarter in 2015. I don’t know what happened. I could rename it talk to it and it was responsive and did what was asked. Crazy.

        Nah that’s a recent thing. Google assistant has been going downhill for ages long before this recent obsession with LLMs

          Same with search! In the mid 2010’s they removed a lot of the advanced search operators. Enshittification.

          It turns out having too much control over what you find makes you spend less time looking (at ads).

          Then they jammed in llm shit, for reasobs both simple and cynical and reasons convoluted stupid abd cynical.
