You know, even ignoring the ethics of for a moment... I truly don't understand the consumer-facing hype.

After, what, a decade of and Google Assistant and, and even now with and , at best, you get some trivia answers, maybe an image, and writing an email for you.

How is this interesting? How is this "The Next Big Thing"?

The difference lies in the bulk of stolen data.

That makes it useful

No more Narcs for an answer.

It is limited in its comprehension and will even lie to your face tho

@alcea yeah, it's not "smart", doesn't understand context or common sense, it's not intelligent. It just regurgitates whatever it's fed.

But even if it did that super well - so what? So instead of a search, I do an "ask" and hope it's not wrong?

Whoop-dee-do, right? After 10 years of "assistants", I'm still just doing reminders, timers, and basic trivia questions that I could google.

I get the use for data analysis, FYI, I think it has some good scientific & data-crunching potential, absolutely.

But why does an iphone need one or microsoft office?

@Lazarou Like, I get it from a scientific or data-crunching POV, totally. I could really speed up science! Great!

But... why do I need it in MS Office? Do I really need something to write a "congratulations" email?
