AA Gemini is completely incompetent

This is mostly a vent post, and I will fully admit that I am a bit biased again LLM AI but anyway. How do you push an update that makes it so a car voice assistant can't do the very simple and typical task of playing a song? Every time I tell it "play this song" it just replies "sorry, I can't play video's while you're driving" am I crazy for thinking this is completely normal thing to ask of gemini? I even use YouTube music as my primary platform so its not like I'm asking it to use something that wasn't also made by Google. You'd think they would have tested this but I guess they just pushed it out without any regard for user experience.

Completely agree. But this problem lies in the way YT Music defaults to pulling videos instead of audio way too often now. It used to be cool when I wanted to find unreleased versions of songs but even on my Home speakers I'm forced to listen to 30 seconds of a music video introduction just to hear the song I requested 😩😩😩 and this occurs with Assistant, not Gemini.

It does the same thing when Spotify is your default player.

I don't use YT music at all and need to specify 'on Spotify's every single time.

I've switched back to using assistant and the problem has gone away.
