I’ve been thinking for awhile, Google home devices used to be such a boon , and now they are just garbage. Before you could ask the most inane things to the google device and it would attempt to answer you. now these days google only answer is “sorry, I did not understand” . asking the weather at times. “sorry, I did not understand” asking for the location of CVS “sorry, I did not understand” asking math problems “sorry, I did not understand” asking beyond even the simplest of questions is seemingly out of reach.

I know why too . google wants to sell its AI slop. make the device shitty get rid of its neural network of answers and go SOS and charge monthly . While AI is the new kid on the block companies also know its just rebranded bullshit and are selling it as the smartest thing since sliced bread. This AI is not all that good and if you want to eat glass you can pretty much get it to tell you to eat glass.

Right From google: While it is technically possible to swallow glass, it is extremely dangerous and can lead to life-threatening medical emergencies.

Google Home Devices are not just devices that barely turn on lights. barely can process the world around it barely do anything right. We have spent 100s on making our houses smart only to have google pull the rug out from under us . it is a ridiculous and unethical. Even for safety Google home devices before would have some amount of intelligence to help or stop something from happening. now the devices are so dumb it is possible to have a device not work at all .
