I miss google
This new AI gets stuff wrong a lot and produces unreliable information
Its annoying, it feels the need to constantly repeat its name to me
It has no charm like the old one...
Its responses are annoying and so utterly sanitized
I was looking forward to this update, but I am thoroughly disappointed.
How do I revert to the old Google Home?

Hi @HishamBasha
Unfortunately, once you switch your home to Gemini for Home voice assistant, it can't switch back to Google Assistant.

I agree. Not only is the Gemini voice inefficiently verbose, it gives me wrong information all the time!
I asked how long it would take to drive to a specific town, and it estimated HALF of the actual time needed. Thank goodness I doubted it's response and looked up an estimate on my phone. Before Gemini, my Google home would provide an accurate estimate EVERY time.
Another example-- It used to be able to tell me the approximate weather at the specific time when I ask . I ask every single morning because I run throughout the winter and summer. Weather is very important , and honestly dangerous if I'm not prepared correctly. Now it takes ten sentences to tell me that it can't tell me the weather...?!? Before Gemini, I could easily ask the weather and wind speed.
These are just a couple recent examples, but I'm so utterly disappointed with the Gemini voice. Also, what is the absolute absurdity of not allowing me to revert back to the Google home voice I had before? Soooo frustrated.
Last but not least, I just want the answer. I don't want to hear Gemini try to sound like a human or say the same thing in three different ways. It is technology. I want a clean, efficient, plain answer.
