Google assistant isn't much better. In fact it got worse once they replaced it with gemini. I used to be able to say "hey Google turn lights off" and it'd connect to my Google home and turn lights off. Now it's usually "I can't do that" or "searching for turn lights off." once it even helpfully started playing Ellie Goulding's "Lights" at double speed.

Thanks technology.



Mine can't "silence alarm" anymore, because it apologetically informs me that there aren't any alarms currently ringing.

That's not even a command-interpretation issue, it's simply broken functionality between 100% stock Google software.


I can't get mine to start a stopwatch anymore.


Oh good, so when Apple goes live with its Gemini-Siri mashup, I won't have to adjust to anything since neither of them works.


It’s weird how it gets worse. To this day, I think the barely remembered iPhone voice assistant with incantations was better than Siri at any point.
