> Google has butchered Assistant since the advent of LLMs. My Google Home devices have lost basically all of their functionality

I’ve seen this said a few times lately, yet I’ve not really seen much of an explanation of exactly how it’s regressed.

Maybe it’s just a difference in how we use ours, but it still has worked the same as it always has.

Out uses are fairly basic, but I’m not sure how much more complex it needs to be:

- tell us the current/forecasted weather

- pick random numbers/flip a coin (playing board games)

- ask it for information about X

- play music on Spotify

- carry out actions in our home devices

All of these have always worked, and continue to work just fine. For from “lost all of their functionality” (this feels exaggerated).

Can you/others go into more details on how Google Home has become broken lately?
