Gemini for Home has decided ‘Fish Lemon’ is a better name for one owner

One Google Home owner has been irked after the virtual assistant began addressing them as "Fish Lemon" following a cooking-related conversation. Nynexman4464, the user in question, recounted the incident in a post on the r/googlehome subreddit. According to them, the bizarre nickname manifested a few weeks ago after asking a Google Home about cooking fish.

The assistant's response, "OK, from now on I'll call you fish lemon," prompted the user to chuckle initially. However, the nickname has now become an unwelcome fixture in their daily life, appearing in reminders and on the smart display. Attempts to alter the name have proven futile, as Gemini for Home seems determined to retain the moniker.

Other users in the thread have shown little empathy, suggesting the pet name may be going too far for a virtual assistant.
