    I honestly can’t see myself ever using something like this. Aside from any other considerations about the ethics of AI and how potentially creepy this device is… I’m a visual person. I don’t even use voice controls, or indeed the actual phone call option on my phone unless I have to, because I process the world better by looking at it. Having to control a device primarily by talking to it rather than interacting with it via a visual display is a deal breaker for me.

      I’ve only tried to use voice commands once or twice. I usually run into issues like

      • I’m in public / don’t want to bother those around me
      • It doesn’t understand what I’m asking
      • I miss one part of it and have to run through it again

      It’s so much easier to press a button and read the information myself.
