So I finally let my Android Auto update from Google Assistant to Gemini, which it’s been wanting for months. First thing I did was prompt it to play a specific artist, just like I do at least once a week since it forces me to use the voice activation instead of the on screen keyboard, even when there are passengers that can type. It responded saying it is not capable of playing music at all. Wtf. So I then rephrase and tell it to play the artist on YouTube Music… And it does so, but doesn’t get the artist even close to correct. I had to prompt it 5 times with varying emphasis to get it to finally get it right. So literally the first thing it did wa like to me… and then it worked correctly less than 20% of the time… So much better than the Assistant it replaced that never gave me a problem. Totally better.

    My car with Google assistant interrupted my conversation with my girlfriend yesterday and started giving me a haiku very loud for no reason. At least it made us laugh. But technology is ridiculous right now. So much shit we don’t want or need.
