Not LLM but there Google Assistant has gotten much more stupid over the past several years. They realized that it was too expensive and had to lobotomize it.

I believe that coincided with the Sonos debacle.

Can't even set a timer with it anymore which was pretty much all I used it for. That and navigation with Android Auto

Huh? I set a timer with a voice command just two days ago. I'm not using "Gemini" though, does opting into that literally remove functionality?

Agreed - bring back the golden age where the Google Now app existed and could actually do useful things
