A little eye-opening to read about the issues experienced. Glad I wasn't an early adopter in this case.

Honestly, the biggest thing they need to fix is the assistant. It can't even set the alarm to 5:05 with voice commands, without suggesting that I meant to say 5:05, which is exactly what I said.

It often mistakes what was said, and does a google search, even though you asked it to do a function it's perfomed many times before (like tirning on a light).

Assistant has been wonky for years.

Recently my hub wouldn't recognise "goodnight" as a household routine command, only as a personal one. Instead it'd just respond with a chipper "goodnight!"

There's a new issue every week.

My tin-foil hat conspiracy theory is that they realized they were wasting to much compute power running all the Assistant Smarts, so they've decided to lobotomize it a little bit more each day to cut costs.
That's the only way I can explain it getting dumber and more broken as time passes by.

And it won't get better any time soon given all their time is spent on bard for now
