I don't think I've found a single use for Gemini it either refuses any questions I ask or just can't do the task. I think everytime I've tried something I've resorted to using a different llm. Google has really lost its tech edge imo.

I only use Google Assistant to set timers and alarms. I tried it on Gemini and it said it couldn't do that.

I asked it a question about PETG settings for a 3d printer and it told me to RTFM, but way wordier

I recently used Gemini just for fun, to help me find an old Android game that's not on Google Play anymore. It was literally useless even though I described the game with a lot of details.

DuckDuckGo'd some details and 10 seconds later I was playing the game.

Oh man! What was the game?

[–] diemartin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah, curious, eh? :P

Its name is Chimera Recollect.

Well I have an idea for a new controller

The best features of my phone are AI... in that they are already installed and now called something new. Google on tap is now some AI bullshit.
