I appreciate how Google has replaced a bunch of the hands-free functionality with "just Google it, idiot." Worsening their catalog of services will hopefully encourage people to step away from them entirely.
I vividly remember the image of a 2010s housewife bent over a counter, hands covered in dough, asking the ever-present Google Assistant for the next step in her recipe.
That's how they sold the Kitchen of the Future to us: Google would speak instructions aloud, rather than us illiterate women having to read the instructions off a handwritten 3x5 card.
RIP
