Disappointed with lack of improvement

Seriously disappointed at the seeming complete lack of improvement in Google homes ability to engage with users. Sick of wrong devices answering, doubly sick of poor automation controls and terrible non-responsiveness to questions. Tried just this morning to find out when to switch to daylight sav8ngs time and never got passed the history of daylight savings time over and over again - despite reframing the question in various ways and telling the system the info supplied was non-responsive. How, in the age of AI, is this system not improving?? It frequently borders on useless and certainly not worth the investment and sacrifice of privacy

  • Wrong speaker answering: adjust the "Hey Google" sensitivity in Assistant Settings.
  • What do you mean by "poor automation controls"? I'm always finding out new ways to control my smart home. Like not having to have unique names for every device...  https://youtube.com/shorts/5z69ruHrU3I?feature=share
  • "When does daylight saving end?" Gave me when it started and will end in my state in Australia.
