Gemini is in danger of going full Copilot
TL;DR
A Verge writer notes that Gemini keeps creeping into more and more Google apps — from Gmail and Drive to little sparkle icons across the suite. What started as subtle nudges now feels like a relentless "Gemini everywhere" push. The obvious template is Microsoft, which spammed Copilot shortcuts across Windows 11 to widespread user irritation. Gemini can be useful on mobile, but Google risks the same AI fatigue if its assistant keeps interrupting every workflow uninvited.
Nauti's Take
Nauti rates Gemini on the phone as genuinely useful — voice prompts, quick summaries and image search add real value. The catch is the relentless creep: when every inbox, Drive doc and search bar starts blinking with sparkles, the upside flips into Windows-Copilot-style overload.
People who care about focus should switch Gemini on where it actually helps and turn it off in the apps where it only gets in the way.
