Did you do any research at all?

It’s fbs model. They made it free as a PR move. If youre actually worried about it phoning home, you could easily monitor the traffic leaving your PC and see if it’s collecting data.

It’s facebook, they pay their staff with the astronomical amount of money they have. This is a simpler model, and their goal is to look like the good guy by making this one free, and selling later ones like all the other AI companies are doing. Except FB has fuck you money.

Wait is that guy even 18? That’s a mature game

“read the reviews and get directions at the same time”: yeah thats what map does.

When you use a google search, gemini fills at least a quarter of the page with shit.

A hyperbole would be to make a point, an intentional exaggeration for emphasis or generalization.

This is just a lie.

For a user who never uses maps or a user who always uses maps, this has no effect.

It’s for those who use both integrated, but thats pretty rare nowdays. Much easier to ask maps “restaurants near me, plumbers open near me” than having to watch gemini type something out and “rate your plumber” forums, or worse aggregated yelp links.

Nobody will be affected by this, except maybe our data to be harder to mismanage. The headline is stupid.

Use it to fund Luigi
