Is there any way to fully remove this awful google assistant thing?

[AC Question]

When I have the phone in my pocket and am listening to music the phone will repeatedly pause my music and attempt to launch google assistant because it thinks my headphones are a bluetooth headset.

My LGG4 recently caught itself in the bootloop death and I decided to buy a new phone, so I got the LGG6.

I had no idea this phone would have this horrible feature when I bought it. Even while I am trying to type it this it keeps trying to launch it, even though I went through the bother of setting it to off.

Am I going to waste my money hunting a specific kind of headphones get this garbage app to shove off or is there some way to permanently remove it?

try this method:
From the Home screen, slide the apps list up and open the “Google” app.
Select the “Menu” icon located at the upper-left corner, then choose “Settings“.
Under “Google Assistant” choose “Settings“.
If disabled. you will be prompted to turn Google Assistant on. To disable it, proceed to the next step.
Slide the “Google Assistant” setting to “On” or “Off” as desired.
