		Mystery-Machine on Feb 6, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Bard and new AI features in Search Google cannot make a good SMS app for Android. They will never be able to launch a simple chat bot. What they will launch will be a monstrosity. The only Google AI product that people will use is any AI embedded within their existing apps and services...which is a great thing, but I wouldn't bet on Google being able to launch any new product that would have a decent UX.

What issues do you have with the modern Messages client on Android? I think it's great.
