In the Google Pixel 2024 Keynote, one of the presenters, Dave Citron, had to try three times to get Gemini to perform the preapproved, practiced demonstration task - 33.3% success rate for something that Google KNOWS will work. see https://www.youtube.com/live/N_y2tP9of8A?t=1692 https://www.youtube.com/live/N_y2tP9of8A?t=1692

Most of the demo fails they had during today's keynote felt more like beta supporting software and bad network kinds of failures. The only failure I saw that felt more like a generative AI-level failure was one of the hot air balloon image gens they tried which generated a circle of garbage in the sky; which was one variation presented among five or six which the AI spat out in seconds.

at this stage, I'd be happy with google assistant "only" understanding what I'd like to play on youtube (+music) while driving. Far-fetched dream would be to understand streets I'd like to navigate to via google maps (not US, not english). Barrier is so low compared to rest.

  UX-wise, I'm not sure why everyone is so keen on voice commands for AI. Why let everyone in earshot know what you're up to? Sure, it's easier than typing all that text given crappy feedback of these smartphone onscreen keyboards. If you show a pic to Google Lens app, the app will proceed to identify text and highlight those text passages. In the AI-verse, Lens could detect the concert tour. - if the tour was in the past, Lens could look up in Photos any media with GPS locations at those concert locations/dates and show them. - if the tour is now/in the future, Lens could detect the dates and locations, and look up in your calendar to find when you are available. If you are available when the tour comes to your town, Lens would show a big green checkmark next to that date/location pair or highlight that date/location. Otherwise, it goes into search mode and crosses out dates/location when you aren't available. For out-of-town locations when you are available, Lens could start up Maps to search for flights to those locations. Perhaps a search of your contacts to see if you have friends/relatives in/near those out-of-town locations. or look in your calendar to see if you've been to any of those out-of-town locations before, etc. etc. That'd impress me.

to be fair, it seemed like it was phone-specific. it worked the first time once he switches phones.
