I always speak politely to digital assistants. Not sure why, I guess I inherently don't like barking orders at people or things.
Or I'm just preparing to be one of the "good ones" after the inevitable robot revolution.
I FOR ONE WELCOME OUR NEW ROBOT OVERLORDS
- delinka 10y agoI'm happy to provide politeness to the digital assistant. Until it's misunderstood the request several times now and I couldn't be clearer or in a quieter room ... Subject change: it'd be nice if these things provided feedback like how much noise it hears, how clearly it thinks I'm speaking, how well it thinks it understood, etc. This would go a long way to helping those moments when I'm being impatient because it's just not understanding.

- visakanv 10y agoI say thanks to my slackbot when it reminds me of something; it just feels natural. And slackbot replies, which is fun. I know it's not real but it's just nice to have a little bleep-bloop of feedback.
