Gemini is way better. People just have to get used to it and it will get better over time. The same way Android Assistant got to what it became today. It wasn't pleasant at first.


Although, even Android Assistant is better than Siri. Apple is way behind when it comes to an assistant or even Android Auto.

I totally can understand the frustration. The difference between Siri and Google AI platform is the thought process and combination of satellite imagery, comprehension and proficiency. Google still needs to spend time polishing that before they release it to the public. I had a good conversation with Gemini once but reading the transcript I could see where the system just completely misread all I said. Having the same conversation with Apple I didn't have that issue because introducing yourself to the platform it understands your intonation and lingo. Google seems like a platform that is still not ready to hand the phone to you.

The reddit screenshots are 100% the experience. Combining YouTube results into YouTube Music was the worst decision possible. Search for a song and get "[song] LYRIC video HIGH quality" or you get the Music Video version that has a long intro/outro specifically for the music video version. Absolute garbage.

I think it's beyond Gemini and it's the apps you expect Gemini to access.

Been saying it for a while. Gemini is useless.
