I worked on Google Assistant for ~four years. The NLP is important, but it's still just a slice of making the thing work. And while there's some cutting edge stuff going on there, it's not so general or mysterious that it can't be understood or controlled, and I don't think it's making things worse. Educated guess: your music issues can be blamed on a ranking subroutine owned by a "media" or "music" team, not on "black box AI".
