[Google]

Glad to see you had a good chat with Gemini! ✨

We will reach to the extent when AI will say "Stop interrupting me" 😂😂😂

[fabrislemos]

This felt like mistreating a helpful NPC

[colinhernandez]

I’ve never wanted to switch to a Pixel before until right now.

Since Gemini live is an additional subscription fee, I won't be doing it.

[princeobasi]

Wow! If I were Gemini. I'd hang up that conversation 😂😂

[byakuya]

Would be nice if there was written text on the phone's screen going along with what gemini says.

3:18 The fluid response between each interruption is very naturally sounding. And the accurate response to the subject in discussion each and every time is smooth, this also make it sound truly natural. The ability to corespondent accurately is flawless and fascinating.

I was one of the lucky members of "the public" to get access to Gemini Live in a non-controlled setting.
My initial experience:

The good:
It can answer questions that can be answered by directly typing them into google and looking at the first result.
The voice sounds natural enough, but with a hint of robot, precisely as demonstrated in this video.
Latency is pretty good, as good on the "public" side as seen here.
Interruptions can be handled, its just not perfect.
It can handle sarcastic input, and doesn't go off the rails if the user isn't "fully nice" (not shown above).
I have not tested it on actual nonsense extreme rudeness or profanity, because that's not a legit use case.

The bad:
The model powering the voice is far weaker than normal Gemini, can only answer basic questions, fumbles on anything that would require a "person of slightly higher than normal intelligence to answer".
Not all of your voice inputs are accurately fed in, reading the transcript it often misses stuff (which explains some of the nonsense)
When you run into "content issues" (for benign stuff that false positive trips the censor), it'll just stop answering and appear to glitch out.

[heckler]

Maybe ask it "How to break dance, and get atleast 1 point?"

[naji_ali]

Someday we'll find out that Google hired 10000 people to answer Gemini questions same as Amazon's AI-based 'just walk out' checkout which was powered by 1, 000 Indian workers manually reviewing cameras
😂😂😂

[os-ng]

Is this gonna be the voice of the new Google Assistant? Or a better question - is this gonna replace google assistant?

[devilwearsprada]

"Even famous people are just regular people" Gemini live has some punchline here 😂😂😂.

[DerNesor]

The hidden loading time of "wow that's an awesome question. Cooking a meal is such an amazing thing to do" will be annoying quickly :D

[shanes.]

"can't build a whole house in one day" Love that 😂

[CindyBardalou]

Wow, it's really amazing how gemini live is answering to you.
Good luck with you half marathon... Hum, no, with your pet 😂

[kenyup]

this is a really exciting news, Google is always mind blowing

[guy]

That is SO cool! Hope it comes to my phone soon.

[ruocaled]

i dont understand why they hide the transcript like gpt and just leave a blank screen…these engineers watched the movie her too many times

[gerharddamm]

I really hate how all these AIs can’t stop saying “it’s important to remember” and variations on that phrase.
