At least I can use Shazam
Google assistant is useless. I can’t rely on it when I’m driving.
It asked me to give a vote on how useful was the interaction. On the screen there was numbers from 1 to 5. I pressed 1 and it searched “1” on Google.
Ten years ago it wasn’t dumb like this…
Lmao that’s extremely accurate in my experience.
Sometimes I would ask for a destination “let’s go to xyz” and it searched YouTube Music. How???
The only thing i use it for is: set an alarm for 10 minutes.
Everything else seems too much for it.
once when driving the radio host was talking about the malvinas/falkland islands (500 km from argentina). Because i’m in europe and i was driving i was curious about the location, so i asked the assistant “where are the falkland islands”?). It set a FUCKING DRIVING ROUTE OF FIVE FUCKING DAYS, to go to over there AND BACK
it doesn’t need a sophisticated AI to know that if i’m driving to work during a workday, i don’t want to drive to the extreme end of south america and going back because i’m curious about the location…
Somehow the assistant manages to instantly turn on and respond any time I don’t need it, but when I do, I have to repeat myself at least 10 times, for a basic question
Pretty much the reason I never used it on my last phone. Even went through the steps to have it recognize my voice better, and even when it hears it the first time there’s a 1 second delay before it actually starts listening, which makes me further contemplate why I bothered.
Yeah, Assistant blows much of the time:
“Hey Google. What’s two plus two?”
“Sorry, I don’t understand. But I found something similar. Would you like to know what two plus two is?”
“Yes, dammit!”
“On the website Add A Couple of Numbers for the Hell of It, they say, two plus two is four. Would you like a little more context?”
“No!!!”
“Alright. I’m here to help.”
Arrgh.
What do you mean, [Buffering 55%] by Radio Melody is such a banger
dang that is a VERY weird bug. I’ve never had it, it always worked fine for me, but this is fascinating
It is there to spy, not to assist
