Long press on the "start" button and you get Gemini AI! You've got to go to the settings and change a "gesture" to again be allowed to turn off your phone.

Another good way to switch it off is to hit it with a large hammer.

I wouldn't call it "good". The fun didn't last long. Wear a face shield if you try that method. My sister gave me a new in box Moto G I didn't ask for. After several months of frustration with its behavior, I tried a two pound sledge. Second hit made the battery explode into torch-like blaze that could have killed an eye if a piece flying off of it had hit one instead of my arm. It left a black spot on my driveway, but stayed quiet thereafter. :P
