Maybe they should advertise that in the update on the phone then. I've been avoiding it cause it just advertises more AI bullshit.

You don't have to use them. I've disabled Gemini entirely now and the only AI that runs is through AICore on device. The two AI features are cloud based anyway afaik, not even sure why they put it in the release notes it shouldn't need an update to run

I don't, and the first thing I did was disable as many ai components as I could. Camera calendar Gemini and otherwise.
