The tech industry has changed a lot over the past few years, and Google’s changed along with it. From Gmail to Android to Search, since 2023, all of Google’s popular products and services have been reworked to prominently feature AI functionality. Judging by a poll we ran this week, that change has been divisive among the Android enthusiast crowd.
Our poll asked readers how their Google ecosystem experience has changed since 2023, the year Google first introduced the AI that would become the Gemini we know now as a chatbot called Bard. There were three options to choose from: that your experience in the Google ecosystem has either gotten better, worse, or hasn’t changed. Of more than 6,000 respondents, the biggest share of readers said that their Google experience has gotten worse lately.
