    I had to switch to Gemini on my phone cause Google assistant kept crashing my entire fucking phone no matter what I tried. Even a full wipe and start over it would just crash it.

    The thing is fucking worthless. I use it basically ONLY to turn my lights on/off from bed and to call my mother while driving

    90% of the time it doesn’t understand what a light is and the other half it just randomly calls someone on my contacts instead of who i said.

    Google assistant at least was reliable when it wasn’t out right nonfunctioning.

      And Google Assistant was even better once upon a time before Google decided to make it worse to force people over to Gemeni despite it having no functionality more than a subpar chatbot with a search engine. It could not even tell the time out loud and even less set a timer or alarm.
