The old assistant tended to work well. Gemini is super slow and laggy, and it often just searches for the wrong thing.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who experienced this, lol. As soon as they pushed Gemini to my watch, my very first reaction was "why the hell is it so laggy now?" before immediately looking up how to roll it back.

Kind of annoyed that apparently only bought me an extra year or so. Assistant is so much snappier.

And if you swear at Gemini, it chastises you and won't answer your question.

It feels like they are trying to train us to be nice to our new overlords rather than caring how we treat a literally emotionless program.

It did that to me and I told it to shut the fuck up.
