I tried using Bixby to set a calendar entry in 30 days and it spiraled into the question when the entry should be set. After 3 minutes trying everything I could think of (explicit date/time etc) I stopped and created the entry within seconds manually…
These assistants are interesting, when they work properly… :/
Ok Google, set an alarm for X minutes, or take me home. Those are literally the only two commands I’ve ever used I think. When I first got the phone I may have asked it to call my contacts a handful of times.
Yeah I’ve tried them but everything is easier to just do yourself. I also feel dumb half-yelling into the air and maybe having it registering that I’m talking to it.
It’s very much Star Trek stuff, and until you can simply say “Computer, do X” in a normal room volume conversation tone it’ll just be a novelty.
True that. I think it’s also due to the wakeup command you constantly have to say before stating what needs to be done. “Ok Google”, “Hey Bixby” etc aren’t that natural as just speaking.
But having voice controlled assistants who constantly listen to what you’re saying and act accordingly is another nightmare itself…

Yeah true but I was curious what it could do. As it turned out… Not that much.

Well assistant now has something stupid where “take me to” will open an app if it’s the same or similar name to where you’re going
On what dumb AI hellhole earth is “take me to” a substitute for open?
