Shares in Google’s parent company Alphabet dived by almost ten percent on Wednesday, after the web giant admitted AI-powered searches earn it less money than it earns by serving ads with its old-school search engine.

    Also biggest of all, old assistant you could go “find image source of current thing on my screen” and it would find it

    I got Gemini forcibly turned on, tried the same, it’s not able to look at my screen

    Turned that shit off first chance I got

      It’s like Siri and the AI Siri, at least the way it was a few months ago.

      I could ask old Siri what the date would be in the future (next Wednesday, for example), but trying that with AI Siri just gave back “Sorry, I don’t understand”. It somehow seems less capable than the old one, and seems to try and squish everything into ChatGPT. I didn’t let it do that, so it ended up being pointless. I ended up turning it off for old Siri, and even that’s worse without its Wolfram Alpha integration.
