        Google recently bundled Gemini with Google Workspace and increased the price, regardless of you using it or not. Guess the plan was for paying users to subsidize this free tier so Google can save on training.

      The occasional use of the free “delete your account” page is alright in my book.

    Reminder: the Gemini Protocol was created in 2019/2020 and at that time Google was calling its AI Bard.

    Tinfoil:

    Google changed their AI name to make it harder to search for as they can’t easily monetize it.

    Interesting. AI can help code for sure, but only as suggestions though.

      I used it for boilerplate work. Like if I need to write a model in typescript with a ton of class-validator annotations, it’s pretty good at filling those in
