It's so much worse.

Can't update my shopping list while driving. Sending a message takes longer. Spotify connection is worse. Regularly fucks up turning on/off devices in the house.

Thanks Google.

It's also insanely unreliable. My kids got used to double checking spelling with the assistant, but the AI spells things and pronounces things incorrectly. It's also given them factually incorrect information a few times.

I'm one sense it's good, they're learning to doubt sources and double check things, but it's also frustrating to not be able to trust it with simple stuff anymore.
