I dont get why google home is getting worse. I would have expected it to get better end better
The problem with a product from any large corporation is you want it to get better, but they want it to generate more money.
It's not an enshittification process where it's becoming more expensive or features are going behind a subscription. It just understands less and less and can do fewer things apparently. Plus it's quite inconsistent.
A while ago Amazon introduced plans for an AI powered Alexa.
Sure enough, the original one has got worse since. I can now ask the one upstairs to turn off the office light and be told there are no devices with that name. Yet if I go to the kitchen to ask the same thing, I'll be told there are multiple devices with that name, and it doesn't know which one.
So now I use a switch.
Is Nintendo any better?!
/s
It still is enshittification as they run it on fewer and fewer servers as the investor money dries up. It's revenue was supposed to be from finding out what people wanted to buy, subscriptions, or purchases of other iot devices, but it never worked out.
I very much doubt Google home is running on "investor" money
There were some patent fights involved that resulted in features being altered.
That cant explain it all though.
