I watched someone try to use Gemini through Android Auto to navigate somewhere a few days ago. It was kind of amazing.
He told it to navigate to a place, and it found a match on a different continent, refused to navigate to it and then rambled about two other irrelevant places it wanted him to go to instead for a while before it finally shut up and he could try again. It didn't work the second time either.
Ye olde Google Assistant, when told "navigate to ", will open maps and search for .
I am a person. You are an object. Do as you're fucking told, I'm not interested in listening to you trying to fake having an opinion.
The fake opinion is to steer you towards some marketing crap.
