I didn't notice it was there until i saw this article.
I've misclicked it a few times
I didn't even know this happened. Mainly because the moment Google blocked rooted and custom ROMs for Google Messages. I just stopped using the app outright.
I locked my messages version when they added a line below the text input for adding media.
edit: they changed it back!!!

This was when I stopped using it for a while. I sent multiple feedback messages as it really irritated me.
I was going to update to the current version, but the Gemini button may or may not be there. I'm gonna wait.
It'll probably be there, but at least it can be disabled in the settings now. It won't go away on its own.
Man I just realised there's a Gemini button! I never actually open the app, I use shortcuts from notifications! Good on google letting users opt out of something basically no one wants!
Unlike WhatsApp
Unlike most apps actually. Adobe PDF has it prominent "use our AI crap" and there is no way to remove it.
Oh yes, finally!
I had already blocked and reported Gemini as spam in the hopes that it would hide the button (spoiler: it didn't)
If whoever is managing Messages let this go through, maybe it's a good sign for other apps potentially removing their forced AI chatbots from where they don't need to be!
Awesome! Just hid it.
I just got the Gemini button
Great, if Gemini could answer who factually won the 2020 US election, I might consider using it.
Just ask tho, biased AF.
It refuses to answer that question for me lol
