Once I asked my phone to navigate to a place via public transport. A normal question Google Assistant can handle. Instead that stupid Gemini LLM started trying to give me a list of directions instead of just opening Google Maps.
I wish they would have delayed deploying it to Android Auto – not only is it slower, it also tends to interpret questions that you are texting someone as questions it should answer.
Mf, you literally asked me what I wanted to text my partner, why are you answering the question I wanted to ask her?
That would be maddening. It seems wild that all of these voice assistants (LLM or no) are a decade old and still have very basic issues and limitations. I wonder if these huge companies are bad at product development or if it’s simply a doomed category?
