I have used voice commands. “Hey Google, show me the way to X,” on the way to my car, or “Hey Google, call X” when I have to call a place I don’t know the number to. But I rarely do anymore, as Gemini takes longer to execute than it previously did. And the idea that a five second series of “speak command, register, and execute” will go even further and replace a tap to start an app or something, is hilariously bad. It’s like they never used the AI they were shoving into everything.
