Q: What’s long and hard on Gemini (Google’s AI)?
A: Third Grade.
I was curious how Gemini would handle this question so I asked it. It filibustered by not letting me get a word in edgewise while it recounted 6 or 7 things named Long in the world. It was only afterwards that it let me finish.
I started using “Hey Google”, Android’s assistant for timing things. Things worked well with this. It worked perfectly and so I continued to use it when Gemini (a so called artificial intelligence) took over.
But very early on, Gemini failed me on a simple, straight forward command. This was all for timing things. I don’t use an assistant or AI for anything else.
So I gave it another chance and it worked a couple times until it didn’t. It gave a chance for me to respond and I gave it the worst rating it could have and said the most important part about timing something is notifying me.
Again it worked the next couple times but didn’t the third time. This time it offered me to rate it on the phone screen. Again I gave it the lowest rating. I typed in that the most important thing about timing something is notifying me.
That’s three failures. When the previous “dumb” assistant had a perfect record. I want “Hey Google” to come back. Gemini blatantly sucks. And in the joke up above I am giving Gemini too much credit. As if it could make it through second grade!
I am not going to give Gemini more complex tasks. It has failed the easy ones. What on earth would get me to trust Gemini for more things when it can’t do the simple things I have asked it. Gemini is a failure.
I know the real reason that Google gave me an inoperable Gemini. Before the 1st time it failed, Gemini asked followups to the timing order. It said something that meant the same as this: “tell me what you need the timer for and that way Gemini can help you better.” I didn’t answer and I refuse to answer. Also it’s trying to force me into doing more work by answering, when the whole point of using Gemini is to do less work.
Gemini is fishing for more information about you to sell so it can have a complete workup on you that is more valuable. I said no, so Gemini maliciously does not comply at times. Shame on you Google for lying and saying that Gemini is better. It’s worse than the “Hey Google” assistant that I want to go back to.
