      Right but as I said in the other thread as well, what do you think is handling the text part of text-to-image creation tools?

      I was lazy the other day and I asked gemini to set an alarm for me, then asked how long it was until that alarm. Not even fucking close to the right amount of time. I figured it would be smart enough to just subtract for me…

      Should have said 8 hours and 2 mins… Nope, just made up a time

        Since when can Gemini do anything regarding your phone? I’ve tried to do similar thing like a month ago, and it did say that it doesn’t support these actions.

          It replaced the Google assistant in standard android. Overall it is a worse experience for me so far. It tries to give much more information and isn’t as easy to navigate to me. Most common things I would do is set alarms, say things like “directions to Orange county DMV” or wherever. The alarms have gotten better but assistant always used to say, “your alarm is set for 6am” and id see a thing on screen that would say 12 hrs and 22 mins until the alarm and it would disappear about 3 seconds after it created it. Gemini doesn’t have that. And if I ask for directions, it reads off things for like 30 seconds and makes it hard to just click on map or what not (nonsense shit too, like reading off the GPS coordinate, pronouncing all the pronunciation). I didn’t go out of my way to update it, it’s just a cheap Motorola phone because I broke my old Pixel in Phoenix on a work trip. For a $70 phone though, it really does do all I need these days though. First phone I’ve had that I can use it for hours during the day and the battery doesn’t die by the end of the day, because the CPU/GPU aren’t good enough to require high power use, haha. Not sure how it works with other phones these days but I used this phone to map 2 locations (about 20 miles total), make a phone call (30 mins), check out Lemmy (1.5 hours waiting), then turned it off, and came back 37 hours later and turned it on and my battery was at 92%. Sometimes having a slow processor has perks I guess.

          Apparently they are adding more actions with time. At some point maybe I’ll be bothered to try it again

        well, ish. llms have a vector space of words, image generators of features. they use a second model to associate words with features. Steve’s explanation is a great intro but for a deep dive i recommend Self-Cannibalizing AI from 37C3.
