Damn voice assistants are going to be our memory of the 2010s like car phones were to the 80s.
Pretty much everyone I know uses then daily.
Every time I try anything other than the most basic things, like setting a timer, it just fails miserably. It would be so useful for hands free operation in the car but even things like calling or navigating are broken beyond belief.
Talking faster is one of the more helpful hints I ever got.
But never try to get your car to play phonk, it'll just play you some funk. Which is cool too, but not what I was going for.
I'll try it but honestly at this point I don't see any hope for it anymore, when the difference between the name Karolina and Carolina is enough to confuse it. Like, I give it first and last name and it says it can't find it even though it heard the name just fine but decided its written with a C instead of a K, so it doesn't exist in my contacts.
