Feel consistently SV/VC types are overhyping and misrepresenting what is actually going on with products like this. The "Machine Learning" element of this is basically just speech detection (as is the case with almost all these assistant products) used as the equivalent of a wireless button or switch press.
Even in the video we still see users having to swipe away at screens to do anything beyond the button press. Feel SV/VC types are constantly misrepresenting these button presses as the coming of Iron Mans Jarvis when the reality is they're elaborate light clappers
I do think this is an interesting product but to hail it as machine learning replacing UI is disingenuous
