I think Google doesn’t turn Gemini loose on docs the same reason Apple doesn’t turn AI loose on your phone. It’s just not reliable enough to let 99.99% of the world use it. Those of us on the bleeding edge have been fine tweaking and working with inconsistencies. If you put a lot of work in, you get a productivity boost.
Think of the family member you are “tech support” for. (You know who you are) would you recommend that to them? Yeah. Me neither.
I get your point, it's sad. But your family memeber isn't hooking a docs MCP up to an AI and doing things. Docs also has history, I can just undo the dumb crap it would do.
In the meanwhile the rest of us are running around with a pole that has a chainsaw generator on it swinging it in every direction to solve problems. When I have these issues now I just have AI write tools to get around it. To search my email I just had ai crack my takeout files and look for the email. Was easier than figuring out the google product.
