Burger King Wreaks Havoc on Google Assistant with Whopper Ad
- beamatronic 10y agoCan a TV commercial trigger one of these assistants to make a HTTP request somehow that can be directly tracked? i.e. increased hits to burgerking.com ? To give a real-time count of the number of people watching a certain show on a certain channel at a certain time who also happen to have an assistant powered on and nearby? edit: numerous typos
- lsiunsuex 10y agoThese things work by - if they don't know the answer, like the weather, or math, or via maps - they query a known good source such as wikipedia or whatever. (No idea how to edit a wikipedia page) - couldn't you do the usual email trick of loading an image via a server side script (say, a php script that serves an image) that tracks the image being loaded - even though it's not presenting the image, it might still be requesting it, no ? (I might be completely wrong)
