The thing that makes my iPhone worse is that it's hard to use Google Assistant (haven't tried Alexa) with my iPhone. I can't make Google Assistant the default voice interface. I can say "hey siri hey google", but honestly I'm not doing that. Google Assistant is decent, but it's not amazing. For any non-trivial task, I still have to do look things up manually.
And while I'm ranting... the thing I hate most of about all of these services is they don't have a profanity mode. In the privacy of my own home I have AN EFFIN' HUGE POTTY MOUTH. I love to curse. I LOVE IT. The fact that I can't get one of these services to talk to me like a middle school student is extremely disappointing. I don't want to be politically correct when I'm talking to a virtual assistant in a private setting. I want to say "Hey goognizzle, are there any good mother f***ing movies opening near me this weekend?" and get Samuel L. Jackson style "Here's the mother f***ing movies opening on mother f***ing Friday at the 5 mother f***ing theaters closest to mother f***ing you."*
Edit: TIL how to faux curse on HN. To type display "f***ing", I need to type out "f\*\*\*ing".
