I wouldn’t use it if my iPhone had it on it. I never used Siri or Alexa on my Kindle. Shut them off the first day I got the devices. There is nothing either one of them can do for me, that I can’t do myself. At almost 78, I lead a very simple life by choice.

For a while it seemed to me as if AI was obstructing Google search results, and as it seems to have improved, that’s probably not wrong.

Brave search is what I usually use, and the AI summary that sometimes arrives along with the links is often not bad. Google’s AI summary tends to be not as good.

It would be nice to have a way to toggle those on when needed.

While I’m wishing for stuff, it would be nice if the Google maps had a consistent interface to switch in and out of Street View. It’s odd and a little stupid that it doesn’t.
