I just used the voice feature in my truck to enter an address for Google maps like always, it came up as Gemini with a long speech. I repeated the address, it asked me if I wanted the location in my home city or one in a city over 400 miles away. Regression with exponential cost.
God I hate that. “Alexa turn on sleep” was a reliable “turn on sleep scene” until “Alexa Plus” came around, and now it randomly assumes in trying to tell it goodnight and tells me to have a good night.
Same with “sixty minutes” being immediately parsed as “sixty minute timer” and now sometimes simply results in a “what about sixty minutes?”
They’ve lowered the success metrics and satisfaction a whole bunch, but don’t fret you can now hold a “conversation” with it! Complete with logical contradictions!
Bruh, if only the goddamn android auto allow keyboard input when driving. Their voice recognition is terrible for anything vaguely non English anyway. And I just typically need to type 4 letters to get the right address in

And every fake-friendly long-winded response consumes more electricity and water than it should, while also being useless.
