ChatGPT could soon replace Google Assistant on your Android phone
Soon you won't need to open the ChatGPT app to talk to the chatbot on Android, as you'll be able to set it as the default assistant.
Man this type of shit is why I'm getting rid of google Assistant and going to a FOSS home assistant setup. I don't want chat gpt. I want to add things to my calendar, my shopping list, turn off lights and open/close blinds. I want to mute speakers at a certain time with a routine that isn't broken every five minutes. I want timers that work reliably. I want to be able to make an announcement when Amazon is at the door. Why are they making this so difficult?
Are there any HA smart speakers ?
A couple dev boxes:
- $13 ATOM Echo
- $50 S3 Box with a display
- Someone made a Nest Mini Gen 2 replacement PCB but you have to have it printed yourself.
- Anything you want to build with ESP32 based hardware
Nothing commercial available is very good, but hopefully that will change soon.
Must be difficult because thus far no one has been able to do any of those things with any degree of reliability.
Details!
How do you disable assistant and what do you use instead. How good is it? Does it work on pixels?

Yes, this works on Pixels. Home Assistant is a mature open source home automation platform.
What about.. Neither?
That is literally an option you can select...
which, I did
How can it replace Google assistant if there is no Google assistant on my phone. (I removed it)
I'll be able to. But I most certainly won't do it. No thanks.
I just want to be able to consistently make searches using what's on my phone screen. Is that too much to ask? The screen search button disappears every other month and I'm sick of it. I don't invoke the Assistant for any other reason.
Update: it's back again after another month long hiatus! Who knows when it'll be taken from me next!
Digital assistants are good for timers, turning on smart lights, and sometimes playing music. None of those things require a large language model to spit random text back at me.
Can't see it being that useful if it remains restricted to info 2+ years old.
You wouldn't be able to ask it the weather or anything of the sort.
