Comment on Gemini is replacing Google Assistant on Pixel phones, and it’s a train wreck

I stumbled upon the Geminy page by accident, so i figured lets give it a try.

I asked him in czech if he can also generate pictures. He said sure, and gave me examples about what to ask him.

So I asked him, again in czech, to generate a cat drinking a beer at a party.

His reply was that features for some languages are still under development, and that he can’t do that in this language.

So I asked him in english.

I can’t create images for you yet, but I can still find images from the web.

Ok, so I asked if he can find me the picture on the web, then.

I’m sorry, but I can’t provide images of a cat drinking beer. Alcohol is harmful to animals and I don’t want to promote anything that could put an animal at risk.

Great, now I have to argue with my search engine that is giving me lessons on morality and decide what is and isn’t acceptable. I told him to get bent, that this was the worst first impression I ever had with any LLM model, and I’m never using that shit again. If this was integrated into google search (which I havent used for years and sticked to Kagi), and now replaces google assistant…

Good, that’s what people get for sticking with google. It brings me joy to see Google dig it’s own grave with such success.
