Not only are they ethically bankrupt, it feels like the sole goal is to eliminate all human interaction and more importantly solve problems that do not exist.

Ex. I do not mind making a 60 second phone call to make a reservation vs. 30 seconds of figuring out how to tell Google what to do.
In this case Google is solving problems for rich socially awkward nerds. Not the majority of people.
- fesoliveira 9y agoI completely disagree with your line of thought. Automation is something that do make lives easier, and just because your personal experience tells you something, it doesn't mean that it will be the same for everyone. Like many others stated before, this is marvelous for the social awkward and the deficient, while also bringing a personal assistant for people with tight schedules or unable to make such calls for various reasons. Also, keep in mind that this kind of feature will most likely be present in your average Android smartphone, so basically everyone with access to one will be able to use it.

- Invictus0 9y agoMy mother is an immigrant and speaks 4 languages, and I am learning my third. This is a ridiculous argument; if this is so important to you, advocate for Google translate integration into email.
