I just tried the new OpenAI voice conversation feature and thought about this too. It's everything I had hoped and dreamed that voice assistants would be when they first came out. It's really surprising that the ones from huge tech companies suck so much.

The tech to make them as good as what you just tried only came about more recently.

Voice assistants, particularly Siri, are structured in a VERY different way.
