The AI replaced my voice commands. It cannot remind or navigate.

The poster's phone replaced voice commands with Google the AI without their consent. Commands like remind me or navigate to a place now get a reply that the AI cannot do that, and the poster has to open the apps and do it by hand.

This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.

How it works

  1. The poster says a voice command like remind me or navigate to a place
  2. The AI says it cannot do that
  3. The poster has to open the apps and do it by hand

Why it’s worth knowing

Reminders and directions are basic phone jobs. The AI took over voice commands on the poster's phone and says it cannot do either one.
