I think personal assistant AI's are still very much in their alpha state. It will get better as time passes. Google and Amazon have been aggressively investing in Research into AI (Google probably more so through Google Research, but Amazon has ramped up recently). Apple has recently been hiring aggressively as well; and I'm more optimistic about Apple than the article, simply because Apple has amazing amount of hardware experience. I hope that they leverage that to make better AI-enabled devices... the future is going to be VERY interesting.
