I understand that the Pixel 9 comes with Gemini as the default assistant. Can you change that and use the old assistant instead?
I'm confused about the following passage on the Gemini Google Support page:
"Gemini is still learning, so Google Assistant will help power some familiar quick voice action features. This includes prompts like when you ask it to:
- Create or modify alarms and timers.
- Make calls, send messages, and read incoming messages.
- Control your device, like turn on your flashlight or bluetooth, or open an app.
- Control your lights, home security, and other smart home devices.
- Broadcast messages on connected devices in your home.
- Find out what song is playing."

How does this work in practice on the Pixel 9? Does Gemini first come up and then if it's a task it can't handle, does the old Assistant pop up?
I'm a P8 Pro user who very often asks the Assistant to "play the news" and it always successfully goes through my news podcasts in order. Does Gemini do that?
Do P9 folks feel that Gemini is an upgrade over the old GA? Are you enjoying it?
