So they replaced a useless and invasive "assistant" with a new shinier useless and invasive "assistant".
Just a reminder that all interactions with the "assistant" are saved in Google's archives in perpetuity.
Additionally, that info will be used to inform ads the Google serves to you across its ad delivering products.
Felt like that goes without saying but yes.
Man, it should. But far too often, people don’t realize that Google uses every data they have related to you for ad targeting.
