Here's me not using Gemini 1 because the only use case for me for old assistant is setting a timer. Because of reports that Gemini is randomly incapable of setting one.

How does release of LLM API relate to assistant?

Pixels replaced Assistent w/ Gemini a while back and it was horrendous; would answer questions but not perform the basic tasks you actually used Assistant for (setting timer, navigating, home control, etc).

Seems like they're approaching parity (finally) months and months later (alarms/tv control work at least now), but losing basic oft-used functionality is a serious fumble.

I feel as though some of the rigour of systems engineering is missing from AI model development/integration. Not a negative per-se, as velocity is incredibly important: But it seems a lot of lessons have to be learned again.

I sometimes forget - it is still very early days relatively speaking.

As a user of Gemini 2.0, so far I have been very impressed for the most part.
