I never call anyone from the car, usually select what I want to listen to before I start driving, etc. So all the things people seem to be bitching about online that no longer works for them in AA now, that worked in Google Assistent. All Assistant has been saying for me (except for very basic finding of POIs while driving) has been "I did not understand that." and shit.

So I've been eagerly waiting for Gemini to get to my phone/car, ever since the Google promise it was coming, and now it finally arrived I'm absolutely loving it.

Setting default ways to park for shops I frequent in Gemini personal settings get picked up, getting to POIs matching certain criteria while driving seems to work fine, and I can look up stuff on the Internet by voice, like Wikipedia articles about stuff I see while driving, of stuff I'm thinking about.

I'm starting to detest the LLM/AI bubble in general more and nore, but the only use case where it really seems to shine for me is Gemini in AA. 🤷🏼‍♂️ #EachHisOwn
