Toot

Productive 15 minutes getting Google support to enable the option for me to disable Gemini. The options should be there by default but like most big companies they want to shovel it down your throat first.

@mikebell I disabled Gemini at company level for @codeenigma but for some reason I still get prompted to use AI all over the damned place. I don't understand why.

@greg_harvey @codeenigma There's a secret setting you have to get support to enable for you - https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:vcykurfvhhpynm4cwhsnnu4d/post/3lgvq2y2s222c

Really annoying!

@mikebell Right, read the article, I do see this setting already. And I disabled it. But it doesn't seem to have changed anything. 🙄 I guess I'll contact them.

@mikebell The "Hmm. Interesting insight." reply was a) way too fast and b) weird. 😂

@greg_harvey I think they're getting hammered with support queries about this so not surprising. Glad you managed to get it sorted it's very anti consumer!
