So they expect that people pay for being spied upon and seriously data mined?

Sometimes I can’t help thinking some people deserve to be taken advantage of.

I don’t know about that. They never delivered on Smart Home promises and the only truly useful thing my Google AI does is to give me the forecast. Otherwise it’s just a wifi speaker.

If they finally integrate Bard, I would actually consider paying for the service.

We have a Google mini. They listen to my six year old request the song Poopy Bum Bum all day. The ads get interesting.
