I guarantee you the classic Google Assistant could've done the same. I switched back to it on my phone because, at least when they switched it to Gemini, it couldn't send texts. I often old down the assistant button on my phone (basically the same as "hey Google" voice prompt but I don't have that enabled) and say "Text (wife name)" and it'll say, "sure, what's the message." And you dictate to it. But Gemini? It was like "I can't do that 🥺" like... Then why the fuck are you here? But I guess it can do stuff like that now. I just can't imagine why they'd swap the hands free assistant to something that can't do the things you normally want to do hands free. Because immediately after I was like "call (wife's name)" and again it was like "I can't 🥺🥺🥺"
