If you imagine asking Siri or Google Assistant to do things for you, of course that would be incredibly frustrating; they suck. That style of HCI is a dead end for sure. However, asking a human personal assistant to do things for you wouldn't be so frustrating. Especially if they know you well. That is the kind of experience I'm talking about. Yes, I do believe it is possible in the not too distant future. Maybe 10 years or so. It won't be as good as a human assistant at first, but it will not be like the speech interfaces you're used to.
