Big upgrade, just got a real AI (Gemini)

[ZKWBQD]

Looks like the latest OTA update loaded Gemini into my 2026 Tahoe. This is really a huge upgrade as you can talk to it and ask it questions like ChatGPT. It also integrates with all the nav so you can just ask it where you want to go, store hours of places, weather, etc. very powerful AI integration finally!

Nothing new here. I've enjoyed those same features going through Apple CarPlay. It offers a hands-free, voice-first conversation mode, allowing you to ask questions, plan trips, or draft communications completely hands-free. You can use ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Grok.

I have been slowly getting used to the Gemini. I have found it rather useful while driving. It does a very good job of business searches and making the call for me.

I use my wife for this. she can easily talk for 40+ minutes

But, do you learn anything during that 40+ minutes?

Until it can reason for itself, it's not smart at all. If you read the same sources that're fed to AIs, you'll still be smarter because you can reason. "Artificial" is irrelevant.

With all the historical information available the last thing we need is forAi to start ‘reasoning’. Perhaps the should have named it artificial smartness. I’m not going to argue semantics of smart and intelligent.

Except that you just did.

Don't fear the dictionary. It's your friend.
