enshittifying their assistant until is as useless as Siri.

I switched from google to apple a few years ago and one of the things I had a hard time giving up was the voice assistant. I a spend a lot of time on the road locally for service work and I leaned pretty heavily on voice assistant for texting, calling, directions, scheduling appts etc. It wasn’t the best, but it worked for what I need.

Now I have to repeat instructions, only to be told ‘I can’t do that’ or ‘I can’t do that while driving’ or some other bullshit. I spend more time cursing at Siri than getting anything useful from it. Compared to Siri, Google Assitant was wonderful.

At least now it’ll suck equally.
