I was using the conversational feature of Gemini on my phone the other night and was trying to get it to read a blog post to me. The AI proceeded to tell me (out loud, via voice mode/speech synthesis) that it was a text based model and couldn't read text out loud.

For as amazing as these things are, AGI they are not.

In its defense: it probably is just a text model that hasn't been told that its output is being read to the user.
