I opted out of using Gemini when they launched in on my pixel 8. Will this affect me? Time to start digging.

Edit: looks like I'm in the clear until they implement this on the backend because I don't have the Gemini app on my phone.

One can disable google assistant via adb, I would assume even if google retires the former in favor of gemini, the newer could also be disabled via similar means.

I just don't want to use Gemini. I opted out and so far as I can tell from what I found online I don't have to worry about this unless they bake Gemini into apps I have installed for now. Doesn't look like I need to disable Gemini via ADB right now. And since I actually use Google Assistant, I'll stick with it till they force me to change over.
