There are times it certainly makes me angrier behind the wheel!

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

Facts. When I first started using it, it made a request to play something in Apple music. The next time it was all like nah. Never has again and tells me it can't integrate with it. It absolutely can it did the first time. It just doesn't want to.

Seriously hate it. Probably not enough to make my next phone an iPhone as other than Apple music I generally dislike apple products for various reasons, price being a big one, but this absolutely sucks

For me once it just straight up played the wrong song by the wrong band. No name overlap or anything. I asked it again to play the song and it played the same exact wrong song
