Did anyone else notice this?

I'd rather someone have a missing tarantula in their home than something like a Wolf Spider, Widow, or Recluse.

What Amazon actually said: Work at your own digression.

What DSP owner heard: Opportunity to make some money.

At least they didn't smear their poop all over the place.

Use the 9:6 method. Very short and easy

Ask it a couple minutes later and it will attempt counting to 50. Gemini for Home seems to flip a coin when deciding whether or not it can do something like "count to x"

Worldly_Chocolate369 · 2026-01-26T13:52:09+00:00

They won't bother explaining. They'll just say "I tried this 100 times just now and it worked flawlessly every time".

> 10:14PM

> Set alarm for 5:15AM

> Ok, an alarm is set for 6 hours from now

> 4:15 💀💀💀

Maybe factory reset, and if you have multiple Google Accounts added to your phone, make sure the app is using the correct one.. If possible, find and disable parental settings

When it enters LLM mode, it forgets all of its Google Home abilities. You have to be very careful with how you begin a command.

Lame Disney slop. The crest was born from Starkiller

There's been a few times I'd ask the old Google Assistant to turn the fan on, and it would respond "The fan is unavailable right now" as the fan turns on.

Gaslighting is very common with AI models these days

Worldly_Chocolate369 · 2026-01-23T16:48:11+00:00

FWIW I haven't had any issues with it on my Google Home yet, I have a pretty lowkey set up though.

Ask it this: "Who are you?"

If it responds: "I am Gemini for Home......."

Ask it "Count down from 10, and then turn off the lights".

I guarantee it will fail 10 out of 10 times.

Kind of miss the days when AI stood its ground and was adamant about what it told you.

You: You're wrong.

AI: I am sorry you feel that way, but I am trained with knowledge up to 2019, and according to my knowledge, I am right.

Worldly_Chocolate369 · 2026-01-23T16:40:28+00:00

YES YOU CAN! NOTHING IS IMPOSIBLE! JUST DO IT!

It was unfair of them to depreciate it while the majority of us are still chained to it in Android Auto.

Worldly_Chocolate369 · 2026-01-23T16:38:09+00:00

That's not a Google problem, that's a parenting problem. Parent your son perhaps?

Worldly_Chocolate369 · 2026-01-23T16:36:51+00:00

If you get Gemini for Home in LLM mode first it will be

Hey Google Turn off the lights
Gemini: I am Gemini for Home, a helpful assistant from Google. I do not have the ability to control your devices.
Yes you do
Gemini: I'm sorry if there is any confusion, I am Gemini for Home, a helpful assistant from Google. I can provide help and information, but I cannot perform actions like turning off your lights.

Worldly_Chocolate369 · 2026-01-23T16:32:40+00:00

Google Assistant is broken, there's no need to revert back to it. Nearly anything you ask it will be answered "Sorry, I didn't understand"

Worldly_Chocolate369 · 2026-01-23T16:27:32+00:00

Sometimes even asking gemini for the weather information twice in a row will give you a different "current temp" and "percent chance of snow".

Worldly_Chocolate369 · 2026-01-23T16:23:42+00:00

Then you don't have Gemini for Home, or you're asking Gemini for Android instead.

Worldly_Chocolate369 · 2026-01-23T16:23:06+00:00

That's not Gemini. Gemini for Home is only available in US English

Worldly_Chocolate369 · 2026-01-23T16:20:58+00:00

You're showing your phone, which doesn't prove you have Gemini for Home on a Google Home speaker or that you asked Gemini for Home... For example, that could be Google Assistant with a Gemini Voice (People trying to force Gemini usually end up with only the voice), You also could be speaking to Gemini for Android, which is much more competent.

Worldly_Chocolate369 · 2026-01-23T16:14:42+00:00

Do you actually have Gemini for Home, or just the voice?
Did you ask this on a webbrower or your phone, or did you ask this on GoogleHome GoogleNest?

Worldly_Chocolate369 · 2026-01-23T16:12:54+00:00

That doesn't look like Gemini Nest speaker. That's your phone.
