So, another Apple's Siri analog is coming?

Was Siri ever known for being great at having conversations though?

[–] Lirton@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

Never used it, so can't tell. But, from other users review, Siri wasn't great.

"Lets"?! WTF. They need everyone to. Gotta feed the machine so that free/cheap data that no one's keeping them from, eh? 🤢🤌🏼

That's not the most accurate way to put it. They've been slow-rolling the implementation of Gemini features in the versions of Gemini they have in their Home/Nest and Android Auto versions of Gemini for quite some time now, until recently they've just been Google Assistant under a different name. Only recently (like, a few days ago), did Gemini start working in my Android Auto device. They announced that implementation like a week or two ago.

I'm not sure if you're intentionally missing the point, or simply didn't read it for comprehension. 😅

Charming. Is that vibe coding you've got under the hood, chatbot? Aww. You seem special.
