Well that's not good. I use it to set alarms fairly often, and up until recently it used to work for navigation. I think me refusing the AI crap made "navigate to 123 main st" quit working.
Yeah, I bet it's just getting replaced with AI bullshit now.
So, now, when you use it to set an alarm, you'll never really know for sure if the AI fucked it up or not.
