It already did, and it can’t make a text or call without fucking up.
You can’t even set a timer with Gemini without enabling Gemini app activity (you used to be able to before, but that changed many months ago). This means it can’t even replicate the basic functionality of assistant out of the box, without agreeing to give Google even more rights to your data, in no way would I consider it a replacement unless it’s able to fulfil the basic functionality of assistant with the same permissions.
Isn’t Gemini really bad? I can’t recall ever hearing praise for it.
When I got my new phone recently, I asked of it what is by a wide margin my most common voice task; setting a timer for something I was cooking.
It presented a UI suggesting it had understood the assignment, but utterly failed to actually set the timer.
It was at that point I reverted to Assistant and forgot it existed.
This feels par for the course though; a bunch of effort spent on a few “hard” tasks to make it seem impressive, but zero on maintaining existing functionality that normal people actually use on a regular basis.
Yup, my experience exactly. Couldn’t set timers or schedule meetings, and if it can’t do that it’s useless. So I switched back to assistant and never thought about it again.
I use it just for screen search/translation on my tablet and it’s excellent at that, much better than Bixby.
Depends on your point of view. It’s better than chatgpt, but still bad.
Bad? From what perspective? I’ve been using it no problem. Sure, it can get delusional (what LLM doesn’t?). But it’s useful to get the general gist of something.
I don’t use llms myself, but in the past when I’ve heard of Gemini it was in relation to a mess up. It gave the impression that Gemini is even worse than all of the others.

People tend to ask personal questions when LLMs are readily available
That’s been my experience as well. It’s fucked up setting an alarm once, but I gave it some really unclear instructions in the middle of a conversation with my wife and it did understand something didn’t end up the way it was supposed to. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Aww man but I can just uninstall it using canta
Yeah you can, unless google makes something rely on it and when you would uninstall it, system is would break… at this point it is better to install custom rom
I can’t do a custom rom cause last time, I checked my xda page for my phone didn’t have any roms. ik I can do gsi roms, but am doing that as a final resort if I couldn’t find any.
I can also trip Knox but I don’t use any Knox features so its fine whatever.
I’ve already had to hand-slap it once. I mean I only use it once in a while when I’m driving but still, fuck Gemini.
