Gemini has now replaced the default "dumb" assistant in android auto. On my drive home from picking my daughter up from preschool, she wanted to listen to Golden from KPOP Demon Hunters. Gemini gave me several sentences about how much it liked the song, then asked if I needed anything else. Then it failed to actually start the song playing. Half of the time it assumes I'm asking it to play a video on YouTube and says it can't do that while driving, so I have to specify to play using my music app.
And the irony is that it's not even because LLMs can't be used that way. LLMs can be given access to tools they can use and launching YouTube music can be one tool. They could also tell the LLM to assume the user wants music rather than videos if driving. They either have a really shitty LLM or really shitty tooling around the LLM.
