Before, when texting a contact in my favorites who I text often, it would take 5 whole seconds between each command and occasionally replace a word with one that sounded similar but meant absolutely nothing within the sentence.
But now it's different! Now, when texting the same contact, it takes 30 seconds between each command and occasionally replaces a word with a different word that sounds completely different but makes sense in the context of the sentence, but changes the meaning of that sentence significantly. Oh and it texts 555-555-5555.
I was texting "do you know what's wrong with your mom?" to one of my 3 favorites who I text from the car very often. I caught the s/wrong/up but given how long it took to even get there I let it go. Then later wondering why he didn't reply I checked my texts and noticed it was sent to 555-555-5555. So apparently I can't text using voice from my car anymore, even though it's been working since I got it 4 years ago. I had no clue this afternoon's Android Auto update that I let go blindly while on the john was going to replace GA with Gemini.
So yeah I'm in a mood.
I know, fuck AI and all that, but I have had 0 issues with android auto gemini. It's much better than previously. It actually understands the words I say, and doesn't require a super specific phrase to work.
I mean, that's the whole problem with how AI works, isn't it? (not considering the ethical and environmental impacts). It CAN work sometimes, but can then randomly choose to send the wrong text to the wrong number. It's completely random, and you can never know when it decides to do something other than what you tell it to do.
It's like having a personal assistant that is sometimes competent, and sometimes a teenager in a mood. And it has no worries about being fired.
And, more importantly, cannot learn.
Uh. Puzzling.
