I know exactly what you mean. I use nest hub max for cooking recipes a lot. When I get to the final step there’s a “done” button. I click it and Google says “I’m sorry I don’t know how to help with that” like. What the fuck
It asked me to give a vote on how useful was the interaction. On the screen there was numbers from 1 to 5. I pressed 1 and it searched “1” on Google.
Ten years ago it wasn’t dumb like this…

Alexa got dumb too. I’ll ask her to turn on the fan and she’ll turn on the fan in another room but telling her to turn off the fan turns off the correct one. I ended up getting a HomePod. Siri may be basic but at least she knows what room she’s in.

Lmao that’s extremely accurate in my experience.
Sometimes I would ask for a destination “let’s go to xyz” and it searched YouTube Music. How???

The only thing i use it for is: set an alarm for 10 minutes.
Everything else seems too much for it.

If you have an assistant device, Set a timer called cookies, or many other types of food, and you’ll get a little jingle with it.
On the phone, you’ll just get a timer.

once when driving the radio host was talking about the malvinas/falkland islands (500 km from argentina). Because i’m in europe and i was driving i was curious about the location, so i asked the assistant “where are the falkland islands”?). It set a FUCKING DRIVING ROUTE OF FIVE FUCKING DAYS, to go to over there AND BACK
it doesn’t need a sophisticated AI to know that if i’m driving to work during a workday, i don’t want to drive to the extreme end of south america and going back because i’m curious about the location…

I call this the "Having so many people with PhDs that you become stupid" effect. PhDs are great, people with PhDs are great, but at some point they all started inhaling their own farts and things started going downhill.
