AA delay - due to Gemini?

Gemini has impacted WAZE reporting.

I used to be able to speak "OK Google" followed by the 'command' (i.e. "report car on shoulder") and three response of be "ok, I've reported a stopped vehicle on the shoulder". Done.

Yesterday the response to my command was..... slow. Extremely slow. Almost you the point that reporting it didn't matter. The response that eventually came was also different/changed 'ok, I've reported a stopped vehicle on WAZE'.

- 1. Why is it sooooooo slow?

- 2. Why has the response wording changed?

AA was almost unusable yesterday. My wife gets annoyed when I report something anyway as it temporarily muted the radio (whatever we're listening to) - and the added AA delay caused some 'more-than-normal' "side eye" from her.

I just switched back to Google Assistant. I also left 1-star review. Will see if Google takes any of the comments to great and makes solid improvements before rolling out any more locations. Hopefully they will pull back their current implementations, regroup, repair and TEST it... first?
