It's cool how they've broken assistant so badly that commands like "Call Mom" and "Set a timer for 20 minutes" no longer work for me the majority of the time.

I tried to set a reminder yesterday and is proceeded to search Google for "set a reminder for 9pm". AI is making my phone less useful and it's infuriating. Even worse, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I guess it depends on geminis mood?

What's worse is they've added it to Android Auto. A couple days ago I told it to call my wife and it proceeded to search for local businesses containing my wife's name.
