My dad uses Google Maps, and he mentioned that it seems to be getting worse. Like, giving him directions that are obviously worse than alternatives. Has anyone else here experienced this?

    All of Google’s products have been getting progressively worse under their current CEO. He’s the direct driver of their enshitification. I have had Google home speakers since they were released, along with a few other of their “smart” products; every single one of them has declined in performance. They get confused, don’t respond, can’t connect, give the totally wrong answer, glitch out, etc.

    I used to be able to run my roomba by voice command without any problems. Nowadays half the time Google responds to the command, confirms it is doing the command, and then does nothing. Last night I used it to turn off the tv, which it did, but then it spontaneously turned back on after 5 seconds.

    CEO/MBA malakas are (one of the reasons) why we can’t have nice things.
