Quick response shortcut in Signal text entry; Is Google screen-reading my Signal app? (sopuli.xyz)

I don't see a setting in Signal for quick replies, but when I tap the text box to write a message in Signal, I keep getting a "quick reply" shortcut hovering, with the app logo, "Why?", and an X to close it.

Is this a Signal feature or Android 15 reading the text and generating a potential reply? It's not my keyboard (Unexpected Keyboard) as far as I can tell, haven't seen this pop up in any other text entry field yet.

Of course, now that my SO is home with their phone that I can use to take a picture of my screen... I can't get the popup to appear. I'll return with a picture if it happens again. "Why?" appeared as a potential response to a few Signal messages even when it didn't contextually make a whole lot of sense. Gemini, is that you? I thought I disabled you as much as possible...
