We need a setting to turn off the "People also sometimes ask me...." after we ask a question

[_T_T_]

Anyone have a hack/solution/routine/workaround for how to stop the Google Assistant forced-followup offering of "People also sometimes ask me ____"? This nonsense feels like being forced into Yahoo! AnswersLand, and it's utterly awful. Either the "helpful" forced-followup is nearly identical to what you already asked, or it's the most basic, uneducated, childlike iteration of some semblance of what it thinks you asked. It either needs to stop or it should be an option. It's part of Google's Related Questions feature. In print, it's easily ignored; when shoved into your ear unasked for, it's maddening.

Hello _T_T_,

Thank you for reaching out. I am sorry to hear that you are having a negative experience with your Google Assistant.

Unfortunately, there is not a way to stop the Google Assistant's suggestions. When it happens to me, I just say. "Hey Google, stop."

I recommend that you share your comments to our team through these steps. You can share your feedback through your device or Google Home app. Thanks!

Hi, Frances.

"Hey Google, stop" results in a reply of "Nothing's currently playing." And I've reported this issue via my various Google Home devices at least 368 times now. Google used to be an assistant, but with this issue, it's becoming it's a Yahoo! Answers-type nag. Really, this "feature" needs to become an option, because it's awful. It might be good for kids, but it's truly awful for adults who have been forming google search phrases for decades.

Hey all,

It has been a few days since the last reply, and I am going to lock the thread at this time. If you have any questions, please feel free to create a new post. 

Best regards,
Jake
