Gemini Live, Google’s answer to OpenAI’s ChatGPT Voice assistant, is finally available, and its very clever, and also very awkward.
A week ago, I was on a three-day roadtrip when all the audio cut out in my car. From podcasts to directions — even the turn signal wasn’t click. My co-pilot struggled to find a solution via Google. It took me at least five minutes. Today it took Gemini Live, the just-keep-talking-to-it version of Google’s voice assistant, about 15 seconds to come up with a solution that worked. Naturally the moment felt magical.
I found myself getting caught up in these little interactions with Gemini Live more than I found it useful as a partner to brainstorm with. Its ideas for my dog weren’t especially inventive. When I interrupted it to ask for ideas on how I could make a doggy obstacle course in my apartment without pissing off the neighbors, it just kept spitting out more ideas. In frustration, I accused it of mansplaining me.
