Seriously? Google’s At It Again.

Oh, joy. Google’s decided to roll out its “AI mode” – because apparently everything needs an “AI” slapped on it now, even if it’s just a slightly smarter version of what they already have. It’s going global, which means more people will be subjected to this…thing. They’re calling it ‘Agentic features’, which basically means it can *try* and do multiple things at once instead of you having to hold its hand every step of the way. Groundbreaking.

They’ve added stuff like booking flights, making dinner reservations (because god forbid you use OpenTable yourself), and creating travel plans. It’s integrated with Workspace apps now too – so it can summarize your Docs and Sheets. Fantastic. More automation to make us all even more useless. And of course, they’re touting “improved reasoning” which translates to “it’s slightly less likely to give you completely wrong answers than last week.”

The biggest news? It’s coming to *more* devices – because we clearly needed AI nagging us on even more screens. They’re also pushing this “AI-powered organization” crap, which is just a fancy way of saying it’ll try and sort your digital life for you. Expect chaos. Lots and lots of chaos.

Honestly, it’s just another attempt by Google to stay relevant in the AI arms race. Don’t get excited. It’s still Google. And that means bugs, privacy concerns, and a whole lot of disappointment waiting to happen.

And Another Thing…

I once spent three days debugging a script because Google Docs decided to randomly change all my semicolons into em dashes. Three. Days. And they want this AI *managing* my documents now? Yeah, no thanks. I’ll stick with manually cursing at my computer, thank you very much.
