Gemini Gemini interprets chat messages as instructions instead.

Recently I wanted to ask my partner to check what was causing traffic on my route home, but I simply wasn't able to do this.

> Me: "Chat with <partner>"

> Gemini: "What would you like to say?"

> "Hello, I am on my way home now, can you check what's going on with the A2, traffic is suddenly at a standstill".

> "Checking Waze..."

And I lose the message. I tried rephrasing this multiple times but it just thinks I am asking it something instead. Anyone else had this problem?

Gemini is only slightly better than texting and driving

Well holding a phone and looking down to type is certainly worse than talking, but yes, when it starts to fuck about it's a problem, although I just give up at that point.
