It’s just like any tool.

I use photoshop for instance to edit photos rather than editing them in paint.

Sure I might be able to do the same thing without it, but it makes the process much faster.

I use it to summarize things for me. Or rewrite something I’ve written a bit better. I usually need to spot check it, but it’s still nice to have.

You’re using it wrong!

I don’t have that issue with CarPlay. It might be your vehicle doing that or the navigation app you’re using.

My Hundyai has a programmable star button on the steering wheel that can be tied to media on/off.
