Don't be so pessimistic, how about these uses: - Let Gemini watch you drive so you can get advice on driving better - Let Gemini help you rewire your outlet for the first time - Let Gemini help you pick edible mushrooms in the forest

  It's funny, you are kidding, with the impending death and such, but having it be able to look at what you are seeing seems useful to me. E.g., "How do I work this contraption?"

  "Gemini, what's the best way to bury this body?" "Gemini, please count the cockroaches in this kitchen." "Gemini, calculate my survival chances sprinting across this interstate." "Gemini, speculate on the percentage volume of pee-pee in this swimming pool." "Gemini, how many days will this meal set back my life expectancy?" "Gemini, will these socks lead to my arrest by the fashion police?" "Gemini, my cat is making that face again -- has it found out it's adopted?"

They're listing the use cases where a 10-20% hallucination rate isn't a big deal. They can't advertise the truly useful applications of the tech because it's not reliable enough (yet).

  Google has a history of faking their Gemini demos, even if this demo was impressive (it's not) I would feel the same way about it. Yeah, it will get better in time like self driving cars, quantum computers, super conductors, nuclear fusion.
