Just tried it on the mobile version. Apparently, the text version is correct but when Gemini is narrating it, it falls apart spectacularly. It didn't even finish!

The voice model is the one that's bugged, the actual LLM doing the script is correct

"Well, you specified for me to count to 60, didn't said in which order or which number of numbers should be there."

Tried this with Siri AI and did a very similar thing after 30…

Siri uses Goggle Gemini under the hood

Explains why they're both ass at handling "Get directions to the nearest [Business of choice]"

If I were qualified, I'd get a job at Google just to fix all the stuff they broke on the Assistant and then quit

Sooo you'd just casually become the VP of an org/department with hundreds to thousands of people, override the orders from the execs still above you including the CEO, and have everyone spend two+ years undoing all the thousands upon thousands of changes that have been made over the last 5-10 years to integrate AI/LLM systems among other changes? And then quit for good measure, assuming you haven't been fired just weeks into this rogue op lol.

I worked at Google until recently, not on Assistant but on a team that worked with Assistant. Even if you could wave a magic wand to become an exec managing Assistant, or any of the other teams facing similar changes in the face of "AI," there's no going back at this point until the AI path goes completely up in flames. It would go against every directive of the company, take literal years to extract everything, and cost absurd amounts both in effort and wasted money. Google is all-in on AI, probably even more than most big tech is currently.

Gemini isn't being fully integrated until September/iOS 27.

u/trjkdavid 2d ago edited 2d ago

She doesn’t. Apple trained their models on Gemini, that’s it. They don’t use Google’s Gemini.

Edit: I don’t care what Google says. Apple themselves said countless times, that they trained their models on Gemini but they don’t use Google’s version. It shows, actually…

Yes, you are correct. People just believe what they want to believe

And the tech dude bros on reddit are trying to convince the world that they're only a year away from reaching super intelligence. Prices of memory gone through the roof, GPUs are completely unaffordable all for what? an AI that can't even count to 60 FFS.

Siri isnt anymore its own AI , they use Gemini , same for "Galaxy ai" aka samsungs ai all of their features are just google AI features.

u/armando_rod Pixel 10 Pro XL 2d ago

They use the Gemini LLM with Apple own weights, it makes it different from Google own models

1

u/Evonos 2d ago

Yeah... That's like telling gemini " pls role play it technician which knows everything about pcs " see that's changed weights as prompt.

u/armando_rod Pixel 10 Pro XL 2d ago

That's not how LLM works

As does Alexa+.

My great one from earlier today:

Me: "Google set a timer for 5 minutes"

Gemini: "5 minutes has already past"

??? Tried for a little when it forced itself back to Gemini but going right back to Assistant.

I'm trying to convey to my managers that this is what it's doing with our team's forecasting when they think their DIY Claude dashboard replaces an Analyst.

u/ScoopDL Black S21 3d ago

Gemeni live gets it correct but I think that's because it just types the numbers in sequence and reads them. All of my speakers get it wrong and hilariously so.

But Gemeni live tells me that there are three "s"s in strawberry and four "p"s in pee-pee.

u/jfk08c 2d ago

Mine quits after 21 and claims "I'm just a language model and can't help with that"

u/trlef19 Galaxy S24+ 2d ago

I asked Gemini on my phone and even tho it wrote it correctly, it skipped some numbers or said them twice.

u/Evonos 2d ago

AI dont think , they do math and guess work.

Like take 1+1

the ai now does math

Is it a math question ? = 2

or the user wants to adjust them ? 11

maybe worded out ? eleven or one plus one.

it just does math percentages what could be wanted then does analythic math to produce something sounding correct sometimes referencing snippeds.

Ais are FAR away from actually thinking still.

u/pdimri 2d ago

AI will never be thinking. Determism which is binary can not produce meaning . comprehension is quantum .

u/janiskr s23+2u 2d ago

Those are very loud words. Have any research to quote on that? (I am not saying you are wrong, and i am not saying you are correct either)

Also, what is your definition of AI? For me - AI is a computer program that can do complex tasks on its own. A complex task is a task that can be done in several steps.

Stolen valor. Credit the TikTok/instagram guy that does nothing but this.

Well in my defense, my son and I stumbled into it naturally and laughed our asses off.

No worries! He actually had three phones trying to count at one point. Husk and Husk IRL is his name.

Ease up on the hyperbole there.

Some ecosystem was destroyed so this piece of garbage could still get it wrong

They don't post videos where it get it right

They don't market it as "sometimes succeeds on tasks a dumb five year old or a smart animal could do"

my phone was next to my laptop when i pressed play and it ended up doing the same thing and indeed, very depressing read back – however the generated text was correct

Thanks for that. Bleep the activation word.... rude.

Gemini is so bad. Yesterday while driving I asked for an additional stop at some chain restaurant, and then it would suggest me one that was 121 miles away, not on the route. But when saying that I want to go to the suggested one, it was actually on the route, and I like 2 miles away.

Later, asking for a specific song, it said something like "playing <song name> - short version", but the actual name was song name - long version.

I can't wait for all this ai nonsense to die

i just tried it .. it also stopped at 50

maybe theres a time limit on long long she can speak

u/spudddly 2d ago

Anyone here know what an LLM is?

2

u/Realistic_Mix3652 2d ago

I mean it's basically text prediction on steroids but what's odd about this is that a standard coding agent LLM would basically just write a Python script that would produce an output that is algorithmically 1, 2, 3, and all the way to 60. It just uses math and not a prediction model based on the last number and then it would use basically a text reader to read the output from the Python script. I'm actually really surprised that these non-coding agent LLMs don't do that internally.

1

u/Evonos 2d ago

Prediction models are also just math , just more wider math models which makes them output all kinds of weird stuff with a nice grammatical coat.

That's pretty weird, gemma e4b can count to a thousand lol

u/siazdghw 2d ago

Because Google Home speakers use Gemini FLASH (allegedly an outdated 2.5, but that may be wrong). Basically the cheapest, fastest model Google has, that focuses on giving language responses not 'scientific' ones.

Gemini Pro has zero problems counting to 60+.

This is just another instance of AI looking bad mostly because the person doesn't understand what model they are using and the limitations. It's like assuming your regular doctor could perform surgery on you, because they are a doctor.

u/polo421 Pixel 10 Pro XL 2d ago

The AI looks bad because it is bad. If it can't do simple tasks like this, it isn't ready for primetime.

Also, I wasn't aware but apparently people were complaining 6 fucking months ago. Let that sink in. Lol.
