Gemini is such a joke. I long pressed my phone’s button while driving to send my wife a text with voice to text. Gemini pops up and is like “I can’t do that”. Then I ask it to switch back and it gives me instructions on how. I can’t do that while I’m driving though. So annoying and useless. Couldn’t navigate anywhere either or okay my music.

They forced something nobody asked for or had a use for beyond the quick what does it do? Then wandered why no one used it? Shocked Pikachu face.
The meta one in WhatsApp, utterly pointless. Copilot non-use to me at all. Gemini has less features than the old Google assistant and is worse in every way at doing the things it does do.
It would be great itlf they’d stop reshaping a working OS around fads.
Tablets went nowhere and left a big scar on Windows and now AI is gonna do the same.
They missed the boat on the one thing that could have made them money, gaming. If they’d put half the effort of this copilot crap into integrating something to compete with steam around that time then things would be very different.
This AI bubble needs to pop. It’s had it’s fun, it has some niches but for day to day usage at work and home it’s of no use to the vast majority of people.

Yeah there’s nothing I like more than having AI integrated into everything I do. It’s sure fun to have educated guesses crowbarred into everything I do!

Uneducated guesses.

Still wonder to this day why microsoft, with all their experience with the xbox, that they never made windows be able to behave like a konsole. I have an gaming pc at my tv and the times that some random popup or program suddenly has Focus is way to high. You still need a fucking keyboars. At least my main computer is Linux <3
