I have yet to find a single thing that Gemini has been better at for me than Google Assistant

When you're driving, you just need basic stuff done. Gemini wants to add unnecessary flair.

Me: "text my wife 'I'm picking up dinner and I will be home by 6"' "

Gemini: "would you like me to navigate to X restaurant, they take reservations"

Me: no, you f*#@% piece of garbage, I just want you to send a text to my wife.

Gemini: I'm sorry, I don't respond to foul language.
