Gemini came to my Google Home devices today, and now everything is better! It's all so much better! I don't know how anyone could think it is anything but better! Listen for yourself! #Tech #AI #Gemini #Google
Ok this is insane, how did they not test such a basic feature before deploying this new AI model? Not even sure this is AI related at all, just seems like the device doesn't know what to do with that specific command. Also wouldn't take too much stock in the "five inches" thing, pretty sure that's just a TTS error, although again, testing Google, testing.
@Scott Oh no, there was an attempt before this where I was not calm. So not calm that I tried it a second time and recorded it so I could complain to the whole Internet
@FreakyFwoof For now you can turn the volume up by moving your head closer, and down by burying the bastard thing in pillows. Just make sure you save one to shout into.
Listen to how little of a delay there is between the bloop and the response with that "use a remote" error message, versus in all other scenarios. This is definitely a canned string, the command was clearly understood and executed, something just went wrong somewhere.
@miki The thing that went wrong is I got Gemini. Whether the issue is to do with the LLM or not, it was not ready to ship as the assistant for controlling home devices
@miki Yep, my guess is it got stuck trying to interact with a specific device, I would get this now and again with the assistant on my Nest speakers. Including the name of the device you are trying to change, even if it's the one you're speaking with, usually fixed it
It stands to reason that it would be, considering they've had what, two years to perfect the technology? This is of course not counting the decade plus of time they spent on deep mind research before Gemini came out, making it the pinacle of AI technology. OpenAI? More like OpenBYE! Amirite?

in reply to Sy Hoekstra • • •That response is far too quick and consistent to be LLM generated.
Something very clearly went wrong somewhere, but it's extremely unlikely that it's due to an LLM hallucination.
