Google’s latest AI chatbot, Gemini, is currently under fire due to its inability to accurately identify music, causing displeasure among users. Despite Google’s ongoing advancements in AI technology, this hiccup has caused a stir among music lovers who had anticipated a bot capable of recognizing their favorite tracks.
Gemini has frequently responded with silence or inaccurate information when asked to identify songs, hindering its effectiveness. Google is reportedly addressing this issue, with plans for a quick update to improve Gemini’s music recognition capabilities. Despite the setback, there’s still optimism about Gemini’s potential once these issues are fixed.
Historically, Google Assistant was popularly used for a wide range of tasks including music recognition at social gatherings. In the present, it’s used for an array of activities like online research, reservation making, setting reminders and controlling smart home devices. Even with these improved functionalities, the music recognition feature remains in high demand.
Although there are alternative music identification platforms, Google Assistant had carved out its niche due to its exceptional precision. But unfortunately, the newly launched Gemini chatbot seems unable to replicate this precision, causing disappointment among users.
Gemini’s inability to recognize music has resulted in a surge of criticism from users.
The simplicity and user-friendliness offered by Google Assistant’s music recognition feature, which could be activated by just a voiced command, is now greatly missed after Gemini’s update.
This adjustment has significantly affected spontaneous musical discoveries and altered how users interact with their playlists, resulting in an increase in negative reviews and unmet user expectations. Additionally, issues surrounding basic features like song identification have raised concerns among Google’s One AI Premium Plan subscribers who may be reconsidering their choice.
Google has been contacted for comment on Gemini’s music recognition issues, and updates will be provided as the story unfolds. Meanwhile, Gemini developers still face a significant challenge to meet user expectations and perform at par with their competition, Google Assistant.
