Great, more AI bloat from Google that is now listeningin on my calls? How do I disable?

I miss the sideways swiping in the all apps. I manually changed it, but new apps have to manually be put in place. This new UI suuuuuuuuuuucks. I wish that I could change it back.

I for one would really like to get off this ride.

There isn’t a settings switch to turn off?

Quick! I need a guide on how to disable this.

Anyone have the background link explaining this?
