Gemini Live is [1]rolling out its Live Voice Mode for all Android users , allowing them to hold real-time, interactive voice conversations with Gemini. "Previously locked into conventional text-based input and responses, Gemini Live Voice Mode gives hands-free ways to explore ideas, brainstorm, and talk through topics in real-time," reports Tom's Guide. From the report:
> This new voice feature is integrated into the [2]Android Gemini app , so users need to update their app or download it from the Google Play Store if they haven't already done so. Once installed, users can turn on Live Voice Mode and start talking directly to Gemini. Do you want to get your thoughts sorted out or chat? It's fast and interactive, and no typing is required in this mode.
>
> Users can have voice conversations on virtually anything. Suppose one is stuck with a complex project and needs a fresh perspective or researching a new hobby or course of study and wants to flesh out the subject by talking it out with Gemini. It promises to offer rich insight and ideas through conversation so that one's productivity and creativity are enhanced in ways that, up until now, have been possible only with human dialogue. [...]
>
> The main advantage of Gemini Live Voice Mode is that it is interactive. A voice assistant would respond to a question you pose in voice, while with the live voice mode in Gemini, the dialogue sounds and feels more natural, with a tone that takes on that of the discussion and facilitates a back-and-forth interaction style. You can ask follow-up questions, clarify misunderstandings, or refine your ideas as you speak, making it more like a collaboration than a simple Q&A.

Is all the processing done on the phone? Even if so, how much of the audio, if any is sent to Google's servers? Is it saved? Is it accessable to law enforcement?
All Android Users. (Score:2)

For quantities of Users where the app is supported. Ok. But that's not all users.
But a chat bot, how unique, and I am sure it is never wrong or manipulated and your interactions are totally private and not logged for sale.

"Lastly, generated content lacks any potential for human relationships."
That would imply most AI users perhaps not angry for now but ultimately unsatisfied as their human connections ultimately unravel. Angry then?

Gemini is dumb as dogshit and a liar.
Ask it something it will give false information and when corrected tell you are wrong. If you swear at it it will fact check and correct itself.
But only until the next time when it will spew out the same false information as before.
