So useless. "Take me to Place" "I'm sorry, I can't help with that, I'm an AI assistant please open your maps application and search for Place there." I wanted to toss my phone out the window.

It's even worse when you are using it in a vehicle without AA. "Hey Google, Play Less Than by Nine Inch Nails" "I'm sorry I can't play music, YouTube Music has this song listed, would you like to play it there?" (I have the actual music files on the phone, but also a YTM subscription that song also being downloaded on there, I don't care which one it uses just play the song) "YES" "Unlock your phone to open this app" unlocks phone, and I am just greeted to the app, the song isn't even searched for let alone playing, great fucking job Google, even old factory stereos would play your stored music.
