Replacing a functional voice assistant with one that talks more and gets basic facts wrong is a regression with a product roadmap name. Google pulled out something people relied on while driving and dropped in a showpiece that serves a demo, not the driver. Has anyone found a setting to cut the verbosity, or is this the Gemini experience by design?
Welcome to everyone’s world who has a Google Home device… yanked functionality, stupider responses than when it first shipped. Sigh.
Isn’t that basically all the voice assistants? I thought Siri and Alexa were going the same direction.
I have not tried any of the others, but I expect the enshittification / monetization trend would be the same, yeah. :(
I want an open source alternative to Android Auto. I have no idea where to even start with that, much less have any coding experience, otherwise I’d absolutely try to make my own.
