Then why are you using it? I tried using Gemini once on my Pixel 6. Couldn't play music on Youtube music on verbal instructions, I switched back to Google Assistant. Will try it again after 6 months now. :)
My main use of Google assistant is to add things to my shopping list while I'm cooking. Switched to gemini, which I could have a human like conversation to get information about any topic but it just couldn't add items to the shopping list. I switched back. I didn't need a chatbot to keep me company I needed an assistant.
I'm not, I pretty much just accepted that Google doesn't care about usability whatsoever and haven't prompted it in a very long time.
To be clear, the only time I've ever used it was via "ok Google" in contexts in which I'm unable to interface with the phone directly, i.e while driving. If it doesn't work you'll learn that you can't start driving before queueing the navigation anymore. The voice assistant was a nice feature, but not important enough to waste my time trying to figure out which feature they opted me into and how to get back out of it.
In my case it just kinda.. switched over at some point, and frankly I didn't care enough to figure out how I might switch it back (if I even could). I had a similar frustration to GP that it stopped working for 100% of the queries I used to use it for.
That said, at some point it started working better, but there was a good 6-12 months where it was a tire fire.
