Question: "Hey Google, is Donald Trump guilty?"

Google Display: "I don't know, but I've found the results on search."

Google Home: "Sorry, I don't understand."

Gemini answers: "I'm still learning how to answer this question. In the meantime, try Google Search."

How dafuq can it not know???? It's been all over the news. Yes, the man is guilty.

If I ask the same question about Michael Avenatti, it reads something off of an NBC news article.

My take: Google is scared of pissing off Donald Trump.

The number of times Google devices respond to "hey nabu" is really concerning. It does not sound anything like "Hey Google."

I was able to work around the problem described above by exporting the filter and editing what I needed into it.

It stinks.

Okay, maybe someone knows what the fuck is going on.

I'm in Gmail. I'm editing a filter to add a forwarding address. I've been using this address with another filter without any issue.

However, when I edit my filter to add the forwarding address, Gmail says the filter was updated, but the forwarding address is not added to the filter.

:headache:

I cleared the application data, as was suggested in many places. It did not work. I also tried in Chrome. (I generally use Firefox.) It did not work.

(I'm not aiming to change email providers. People answering with "just move to [so-and-so]" will be blocked.)

My boyfriend clued me in about a TikTok. In the TikTok, a man was looking at the translation of ingredients in a shampoo bottle from English to French.

The ingredient "soy protein" was translated to "je suis protéine."

I decided to see what Google Translate would do. I set the source language to Detect language and the translation language to French.

Right after I typed "soy," it switched to "Spanish - detected." It translated "soy protein" to "je suis une proteine."

I'll note, in passing, that "soy protein" is not proper Spanish. (I'm not saying it is impossible to say, but that people don't normally express themselves in this way in Spanish, whereas "soy protein" is quite normal in English.)

"Soy milk" gives "je suis du lait."

:why:

I have an idea as to why my Google devices have become deaf.

If I have music playing. They won't hear me. It does not matter where I am. The device will pick up the lyrics and be confused. If I turn off the music, the device can hear me just fine.

This did not use to happen.

Something changed in the voice recognition.

This is #enshittification.

[Talking to a Google Display:] "Hey Google, lights!"

"Playing lights on YouTube."

[Fuck! That's not what I wanted. I wanted it to turn on the lights. The display starts playing music.]

[Still talking to the same display:] "Hey Google, stop!"

"Okay, stopping the Chromecast."

:headache:

Now, for the love of everything sacred, please explain to me why when I ask the display to "stop," it decides that I don't want it to stop playing the bloody music it just started playing and instead thinks that I want to stop what's playing on my Chromecast?

:why:

This is not the first time the scenario above happens.

I used to say "turn on the lights" but then I was playing roulette, because once in a while the device would hear an "all" in there and would turn on all the lights in the house. When I still lived with my ex-wife, it was super fun to ask the device to turn off all the lights I did not want on.

So I switched to just "lights", which eliminates the problem I just mentioned, but sometimes the display thinks I want to play some stupid song.

:catangry:

I'm just waiting for the M5Stack ATOM Echo Smart Speaker to be available again (link below), and I'm going to start experimenting with voice recognition in Home Assistant. I expect it is going to be a bit rough going at first, but meh... I cannot be worse than the shit that Google peddles.

Thank you, Google's "AI", for this bullshit:

Google’s Enshittification Continues, Unabated

I have a moratorium on buying new Google devices. It is likely to continue.

So, I ran into trouble with my Google Chromecast with Google TV device a long time ago. For the longest time, the device was unable to load suggestions. I searched through Google Search, found people who had the same issue, and I came up with a solution that did not require me to get a new mortgage or sell myself for scientific research. This solution did not last, however. The bug game back, but I did not need the suggestions, so I let it be broken.
