#5I'm not sure how I feel about this, as a user of google's services and as an owner of google's hardware (pixel 5, nest hub 2).

But the current generative craze with "AI generated backgrounds" is a dead end.
Give me better AI autocomplete, AI image correction, AI noise cancellation...

Even small changes by a $2 trillion company with billions of daily users are a big deal.
