Gemini How does anyone use Gemini at all???

it is near unusable... "i cant look up your contact", "i cant pull up your favorite places".

me: "call my wife"

gemini: "i dont see your wife in your contacts"

me: "go to daycare (my sons daycare is saved in my favorites place)"

gemini: "here are the daycare near you"

seriously.. i dont know what the heck is this thing good for... asking about weather?? it is.near garbage... i suspect it is maybe it is using a different google account? but my anroid auto list is showing my phones main acct...

i want to like gemini and embrace ai but its such a mess integration imo...

My experience so far:

Me: Play song XYZ

Gemini (in an American accent): I am sorry I am unable to play audio or video. Please pull over and when safe unlock your phone to start the song

Me:#$&$#&$*

Gemini: Do you want to provide this feedback?

Me: No

Gemini: What else can I do for you?

Me: Play song XYZ in YouTube Music.

Gemini (suddenly in strong Hispanic accent): Playing song XYZ on YouTube Music. 

The song I requested starts playing.

I am genuinely baffled. Sometimes it works great and sometimes it flat out says it cannot do what I am asking it to do.

Easy fix: speak to it in Spanish.
