    I ask Siri to make phones calls and set a timer. I know these companies wanted us to use voice assistants more often but for me it was always faster to pick up my phone and do it myself. This reminds me of last year when articles were circulating about Amazons Alexa costing the company $3bn in the first quarter of 2022.

      I tried using Bixby to set a calendar entry in 30 days and it spiraled into the question when the entry should be set. After 3 minutes trying everything I could think of (explicit date/time etc) I stopped and created the entry within seconds manually…

      These assistants are interesting, when they work properly… :/

        Ok Google, set an alarm for X minutes, or take me home. Those are literally the only two commands I’ve ever used I think. When I first got the phone I may have asked it to call my contacts a handful of times.

      I mostly use Siri to send my wife texts while I’m driving. And it fucks up half the time.
