Comment on Google Assistant tries to pull the "song name" out of anywhere instead of just identifying it by sound

  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.
