Well this fucking sucks. Gemini is complete garbage in Android Auto, I thought I was stuck with it until I discovered a couple weeks ago that I could choose to continue using the assistant.
Now it’s being ripped from my hands again.
This is total ass. Fuck Gemini. Fuck AI. Fuck Google.
It also can’t read labels on gmaps. Can’t read people’s “nickname” field in contacts (there are so many Roberts). And can’t access or write notes without also requiring access to my emails (hell no).
Those are the three things I use AA for, and it’s objectively worse at every single one of them.
It will fucking lie and say it set a timer or reminder, and if you ask it “wtf” in response when it clearly didn’t (if you notice), it’ll fucking explain it’s just roleplaying at being a voice assistant.
Oh for sure. They can proudly tell their shareholders that every one is using Gemini now, which I’m sure they’ll eat that up even though we’re all being forced into it with no recourse.

I couldn’t get it to create a reminder for me when I tried the other day.
I have a Google Nest speaker in my kitchen and while cooking “Hey Google set a timer for 5 minutes” … “I cannot do that at this time”
“Ask me again in 5 minutes.”
Worse.

If it makes you feel better, I’m sure someone in Google got the promotion they so desperately needed.
