A little eye-opening to read about the issues experienced. Glad I wasn’t an early adopter in this case.

    It blows my mind that half a year after the public launch of ChatGPT that Google Assistant seems to be getting dumber instead of smarter and Bard is a completely different silo’d product still.

    My Google Assistant a while ago picked up a problem. I use it to set timers all the time. Suddenly, one day it wouldn’t understand “set a timer for 3:30” anymore and I’d have to say “3:30 pm”. Then its dementia progressed and it was setting timers for the next day unless I specified “today at 3:30 pm”. Then the day after that lucidity returned and it regained the ability to do the basic “set a timer for 3:30”. It doesn’t feel like it actually understands language at all. I appreciate that they’re making updates, but I wish they were updates for the better.

    The first company that will sell me a smart speaker that works like ChatGPT/Bing/Bard/etc. and I throw my Nest speakers in the garbage and switch brands.
