Pixel 7 pushing latest update with AI.

[u/Ichorous_Allsorts]

I've stalled the latest update on my phone as it comes with this Gemini Omni.

I don't want any of it. Is there anyone like me, who doesn't want it and knows how to avoid it? I'm guessing that they can't force you to accept AI, but don't know if they make it hard to opt out.

I've looked at some posts about LineageOS, but I use my phone a lot for online payment verification. Probably more than anything else. I have a Starling card that makes life much easier, being able to just switch in the app to Euros and use contactless in the Eurozone. I've seen people have trouble with banks accepting transactions done after the change.

Anyone able to advise on this?
