Turns out, I had my phone in Airplane! mode.

      Whenever I ask my Google Assistant in the kitchen to play music, it mishears me and plays some bizarre rap. It’s always rap too.

      My favourite occasion of this was when I’d asked it to play “Believe by Cher” and it was all “Sure! Beat the Baby by Brooklyn Queen, playing on YouTube music.” I did a double take, sure I’d misheard it, but then the song started playing…

        When I ask my google assistant to make my light blue, sometimes it plays a random song with blue in the title and ignores me for a bit.

          I feel like Google Assistant has gotten increasingly worse over the years. Functionality is being removed and it’s getting less reliable.

          I loved the kitchen speaker’s integration with my shopping app, which I shared with my roomie. As I was cooking I’d just be all “Add this to my list” and it would, but now they’ve disabled that API so all it does now is say that it doesn’t understand things.
