> I have not observed anyone talking to their phones since these were a novelty. Note that people are much more likely to talk to their phone in private than in public. It’s rude/weird to talk to one with people around. I use mine at home or when away from people. I use mine for the following: * turn on/off the lights * play some music * what’s the weather * call people * add X to my grocery list * start a timer * occasionally, open an app. Usually on apple watch where this is faster * Remind me tomorrow to do X * Get me directions home * Show me pictures of X * Start/stop time tracking timers The common thing is they’re all simple functions, quick to say, and faster by voice than going 3-4 steps into a UI and typing stuff out. This is on iPhone. I imagine all of the above use cases work well on android, and I think others would be effective too, as google assistant is reputed to be more powerful. Note that siri used to be garbage at understanding me. After using it a while it seems much better. Either she learned or I learned to speak differently.
