My phone got force updated to gemini and I kind of dig it. Mainly because when I told it to navigate to costco and it asked whether I wanted to go to the bakery or the food court I said “whichever one because they’re in the same building you fucking clanker” it just routed me to one of them instead of saying “sorry, I don’t understand” like Google assistant usually did.
Realistically though, using an LLM for natural language processing should have happened years ago and I’m pissed it’s so enshittified now that it’s finally happened.
It would be better if the damn LLM was local, i tried to do it on a crappy 300€ phone, it worked, the LLM was one of those stupid ones but it did a deceny job for a 300€ phone, so i can guess that with flagships it would be good, heck, if we had a processing unit dedicated to LLM stuff it wouldn’t be that bad probably
Gemini loves to yapp
Edit: i asked it again
