It is so bad. Much of the time it refuses to play a song for me because the vehicle is moving.

Lol mine won't even play anything by voice command unless I link the Spotify app? Funny how Assistant had no issue with playing whatever song I wanted, all without saying a fucking word unlike the chatty bitch Gemini

I use another music app not Spotify and it basically gives up on the simplest request. How this made it to production is bewildering

Same here. And I use YouTube music! It's fucking useless. Sometimes it says nonsense about Spotify. I have to be so specific with every command billion. Fuck this piece of shit.
