I was a heavy voice user of the old Google Assistant, as well as Google Home/Nest speakers, and have really grown to hate its Gemini based replacement on my phone. So often it screws up with basic commands that were intuitive and reliable on the old Assistant. It’s also slower and feels like a waste of resources to query an LLM for simple device and smart home commands

    That feature is especially sucky when you ask it to play a song to surprise your wife, and it goes, “playing your wedding song on YouTube…”

    It’s like, dude, let the song be a surprise, stop stealing my thunder.
