Gemini is complete garbage in Android Auto

It also can't read labels on gmaps. Can't read people's "nickname" field in contacts (there are so many Roberts). And can't access or write notes without also requiring access to my emails (hell no).

Those are the three things I use AA for, and it's objectively worse at every single one of them.

I couldn't get it to create a reminder for me when I tried the other day.

Worse.

It will fucking lie and say it set a timer or reminder, and if you ask it "wtf" in response when it clearly didn't (if you notice), it'll fucking explain it's just roleplaying at being a voice assistant.

I have a Google Nest speaker in my kitchen and while cooking "Hey Google set a timer for 5 minutes" ... "I cannot do that at this time"

"Ask me again in 5 minutes."
