Google Home continues to exasperate me
Google Assistant has been getting worse and worse over the past few years. It’s got to a point where it fails to understand basic commands. I’m not sure how that happened. For that reason alone I was looking forward to the promised upgrade to Gemini for Home. I figured AI wouldn’t be worse than the dumpster fire Google Home is today.
I was wrong.
I finally got access today, configured it, and asked it a few questions. It was noticeably slower to respond, which I can understand. That would be okay if its answers were good.
Here is an exchange from 15 minutes ago:
- In English: “Hey Google, what will be the weather tomorrow?”
- Google replies in English: “it will rain, temperatures between 7 and 19° C.”
- I immediately ask a follow-up question, still in English: “Will it rain all day?” Even old Google could be helpful with that.
- Google replies in English: “you can expect showers in the evening. Temperatures will vary from 7 and 17° C.” Somehow the forecast got 2° colder with that follow-up question?
- My kids hear me complaining, don’t understand the problem, so I ask again, in French this time.
- Google replies, in French but with a strong English accent!!, and the temperature is back to 19° C. No Google, I don’t need you to speak like a British person who is trying their best to speak French! 🙄
