Not LLM but there Google Assistant has gotten much more stupid over the past several years. They realized that it was too expensive and had to lobotomize it.

Can't even set a timer with it anymore which was pretty much all I used it for. That and navigation with Android Auto

Huh? I set a timer with a voice command just two days ago. I'm not using "Gemini" though, does opting into that literally remove functionality?

Just tried it again, and it worked but for whatever reason, did not use my actual timer app on the phone, and used Google Assistant. For whatever reason the timer was muted by default, so that's why I thought it didn't work at the last time I used it.

IMHO, Google Now > Google Assistant

Agreed - bring back the golden age where the Google Now app existed and could actually do useful things

I believe that coincided with the Sonos debacle.
