well, my point was that the technology exists. Obviously it doesn't replace the traditional computer or a phone but you can do things like making phone calls, setting reminders, timers, alarms, playing songs etc. for some of these tasks you don't need wifi connection on.

For example, if Google (or user/owner of the device) decides to change "OK Google" to "OK Alphabet" than all the old chips will be unable to support such a newcoming. So, I do not agree that the technology exists, these are way closer to speaking dolls than to computers.

For example, if Google (or user/owner of the device) decides to change "OK Google" to "OK Alphabet" than all the old chips will be unable to support such a newcoming. Its not baked into chip, its software and gets updated just like your phone or computer when its connected to the internet.
- eimrine 4y agoSoftware is too slow for this task, especially if that speaking doll does not have a powerful CPU. It is way cheaper to produce a lot of cheap ASICs which can recognize very fast only the "ok google" keyword, maybe few most common phonemes also, but otherwise it just throws recorded sound on the server. So, all the software for recognizing unusual phrases is usually running on cloud and the speaking doll has nothing to update.
