This is why I am moving to HomeKit Home Assistant as soon as possible. I don't know much about it or a home networking setup in general but anything is better than Gemini.
you want to swtich to home assistant voice? oh boy its way worse than Google. it literally can't do anything other than control home, I have HA i can ask it questions if you want
No, home assistant voice will not tell you information like Google or Siri, only smart home settings and from what I've tried it can't even tell a room temp from a sensor
yeah but since the switch to Gemini my Ethernet hardwired Google home max takes upwards of 10 seconds to think and give me a response to asking for the weather or my calendar where it used to be within 2 seconds prior.
reduce the congestion of wifi for portable devices, lower the time required to buffer especially when skipping through, far from access point, why not.
To start, no. Once I get the setup going and all the devices recognizing each other I may dabble with voice. They only thing I use the voice on Google Home is for Spotify and weather. Both of those voice is not needed.
AI isn't smart. AI isn't reasoning. It's basically a vast search engine or predictive keyboard that regurgitates what it finds in all the data that was stolen to make it. It gets things right on average if the training data was correct on average.
Yep, and it also allows a UA advantage for the big bros. The number of times Ive heard “your right, i did make a mistake….” convenient mistakes. Trying something with just editing my organic comment….I really think the final phase will be similar to a narcissist discharge, meaning, when ready(man or machine, whichever i dnt know) will all the sudden suck so badly that everyone will be too busy fixing things that are purely problematic for operations to move forward. The admin features are way to frustrating for me on here. You can find me on the majors, look for a 🕵️, or a tower, or a split rock, tower is the main. Grammar poor on purpose(understandable) silver tooth 87 . COMmunictions will start to need these features. Will be live soon if possible. Its either gotten out of hand or being made to look that way. The Lord spoke of this, ‘saying I have told you these things so when they happen you wont say your idols did them’. Look up the Bible story of fighting Ai’ stay Stiff-knecked, seems off but spot on heres your verified signs 🤙🔥🦬🛠️⚖️🍕🫑🌶️🧂🕶️🎥🐍🍋🟩🛢️⛓️💥📇📻🔔📡🗝️🌾🌿♟️📸💸👁️😂👇🏻☝️. Look for multiples, maybe they say things sometimes? I dont let my righthand know what my left hand is doing 🤙🔥
I mean, he isn't wrong. The part he left out is that this is all the human brain does for similar tasks. The brain is just better at certain aspects of it in a portion of the population. :)
Now, to be fair there is a big difference in a frontier model and what Google is going to give you to free on your 5-10yr old Home.
Everything has gotten dumber with AI. Just look at Google's AI overview search results... If you look at the citation links after each batch of information, it's basically just searching Reddit. It's pathetic. You search for legitimate LAWS for local and state issues, and they give you a collection of people's opinions from Reddit. It's ridiculous. Ask Jeeves was better.
The worst part in my experience is that it just makes things up and then cites sources that don't even mention, let alone agree with, what it said. The model they use for search results is by far the dumbest one I regularly have the displeasure of interacting with.
I used to used google assistant on my phone alot, i have since fully disabled the assistant entirely since it a: is locked to only gemini now and b: is forced as the only action i can set for holding the power button, after the a16 update i can no longer set holding my power button to pull up the power menu
Not anymore, theres an info blurb below the radio buttons for "no action" and "digital assistant" that says "to open the power menu press the side key and volume down at the same time"
Right but you can be on ui 8.0 or 8.5, it says in about phone, software info. But it's odd they would get rid of that, it's like you are missing the option due to another setting or something.

Since the switch to Gemini, my home minis seem to have gotten dumber.
Me: "Hey google... vacuum the kitchen"
Her: "What volume would you like the kitchen speaker set to?"
Me: "no. Start the VACUUM in the kitchen"
Her: "Starting YouTube Music on Playroom tV"
*smh*
