This article on what Google claims it has done/will do with its AI is extraordinary for all the wrong reasons.

Here’s a sample:

We’ve made extraordinary progress to deliver on our full AI stack.

What ‘stack’? All you have is Gemini which can’t remember what it said yesterday, can’t open a spreadsheet, can’t even get a frickin’ Family Guy quote right!

the Gemini app reached 950M monthly users

Wow! What a way to scam people out of money and data.

At the same time, there’s never been a more important moment to shape the future of AGI and science

Oh boy, where to start with how wrong this one is…

And that’s only a sample of the content of this ludicrous thing…

    Yes I am wroth with them. The assistant app works for everything I actually want to do with the stuff in my house. I don’t want to have a conversation with my speaker, I just want it to play music. I want the tablet thing in the kitchen to show me the cute weather frog, and set timers when I ask it to. Google assistant handles that, in English or Spanish, has good voice recognition and consistent results.

    Gemini is both too smart and too dumb.

    I am just going to give up voice commands, honestly. Can set a timer on the kitchen thing using my phone, send music to the speakers same way, hopefully never activate the freaking AI.
