So today I updated Android Studio to the latest Rabbit 1. I know, I should know better after all these years. Up pops the "What's New" screen. In amongst all of the AI nonsense there are a couple of things of interest to be found, I decide to click "Compose Preview Screenshot Testing tool" and what does the linked page tell me? Deprecated.

What on earth is going on Google? I used to have such confidence in Google as a technology partner. I would even go as far as to say that I had some pride in calling myself an Android developer once upon a time. Those feelings are dwindling away day by day to become a distant memory.

I'm not anti, AI btw. I'm using Codex on a daily basis to help build out some non android products and it does a good job, my trust levels are high. It's just that every time I've come across Googles AI offerings I've felt underwhelmed and let down.

I'm tired. Oh well. Only 12 years until retirement.
