And will that work permanently, or will I have to hunt down another setting in another month when they stuff it into another workflow I don't want it in?

- infermore 1y agoguess we'll see in a month
- chankstein38 1y agoYeah, if YouTube Shorts or Games are any indication, it'll be back soon! The AI Mode in Google Search comes up nearly every time I use it no matter how many times I hit "No"
- tracker1 1y agoYouTube shorts is an abomination... I'm so sick of the movie clips everywhere... Not to mention the AI slop in the general YouTube results... I like historical content, but the garbage content just pisses me off to no end.
- netsharc 1y agoEvery time I update Google Photos on Android, it asks me "Photos backup is turned off! Turn it on? [so you use up your 15 GB included storage and buy more for a subscription fee?]".
- bobsoap 1y agoEvery time I open Google Photos, it does this. Every single time. It's insanely hostile.

- Maken 1y agoEvery time you update? How about Maps asking if you want to use advanced location every time you open it?
- mghackerlady 1y agoWhat's even worse is that every time you sign into a google account without a phone number or home address associated with it, it screams at you to add them for sECurItY
- thih9 1y agoDepends; in the EU and selected countries that setting was always opt-in (i.e. it was never enabled for you). Elsewhere I guess the user has to periodically check their settings, or privacy policies, etc, which in practice sounds impossible. > Important: By default, smart feature settings are off if you live in: The European Economic Area, Japan, Switzerland, United Kingdom (same source as in grandparent comment).
