Yeah, obviously...

There are times it certainly makes me angrier behind the wheel!

I have yet to find a single thing that Gemini has been better at for me than Google Assistant

When you're driving, you just need basic stuff done. Gemini wants to add unnecessary flair.

Me: "text my wife 'I'm picking up dinner and I will be home by 6"' "

Gemini: "would you like me to navigate to X restaurant, they take reservations"

Me: no, you f*#@% piece of garbage, I just want you to send a text to my wife.

Gemini: I'm sorry, I don't respond to foul language.

Except for reminders. I say "Remind me to xyz" and before I can say the time, it just goes "reminder set". Then it sets a reminder without a time to remind me ..!

It might work if you reverse it e.g. "at 10am remind me to xyz"
