You can't go anywhere without having Gemini shoved in your face. I had an immediate visceral reaction to this.

I’m never the one to defend AI, but what do you mean? Is it the “AI overview” that pops up on Google? Other than that, I would say Gemini is definitely less in your face than ChatGPT for example
My company uses google workspace and every google doc, spreadsheet, calendar, online meeting and search puts nonstop callouts and messages about using Gemini. It's gotten so bad that I'm about to try building a browser extension to block that bullshit. It clutters the UI and nags. If I wanted that crap, I'd turn it on.
Sounds like you don't like a product choice that your company made. Have you considered talking to your company?
I see - I feel the same way about Copilot (as my company uses the Microsoft ecosystem).
I also find those "please please please try me!" popups annoying, but at least Google Workspace is one product where deep AI integration actually makes sense. I like the ability to quickly get summaries or edit documents by telling it what needs to be done in generic terms.
Yes it smells like google+, but at least gemini is actually a good product
