I Don’t Like Google Gemini
On my phone Google Gemini is a bloated, useless pile of steaming cow pie. Once basic tasks that Google Assistant handled with ease becomes a minutes long thinking assignment for Gemini.
On my watch I mostly try to use Gemini for texting. Trying to text anyone in my contacts it seems Gemini has to search the galaxy for them. It fails the majority of the time. I was cooking and said, “set a timer for 28 minutes” it started timer but it told me I could use an online timer. Why the frack would I want to do that?
On my phone I’ve tried to replace Gemini with Samsung Bixby but it sucks too. For instance, if I want to use it to text it tries to force me to use Samsung Messages instead of Google Messages. I digress…
Gemini is slow, inefficient, and unnecessary for everyday common tasks. We don’t require advanced AI everywhere. Google Assistant was just fine at these tasks. Using Google Gemini for them is like using a flamethrower to start a campfire.
