    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…
