Meanwhile, I’ve had to disable ‘Hey, Siri’ on my iPhone because it’ll trigger at least 4-5 times a day during normal conversations. No my name is not anything close to Siri. No, I didn’t train ‘Hey, Siri’ in a noisy environment. All I could possibly give for a reason is that I have a deep sonorous voice.

Well my dog is called Lizzy. That’s apparently close enough. The first times I freaked out a bit when a voice answered to something I said to my dog when I was alone at home

Siri is triggered by so many words and phrases. Serious. Basically. Make sure it. Series. The worst part is that when it’s triggered, it refuses to shut up and be canceled. Siri is the laughing stock of the “AI assistants” space.

  To be fair, you have to say 'hey' before any of those. There aren't many times in normal conversation when one would say 'Hey serious', or 'Hey series'.

    You’d think an explicit “hey” was needed, but my daily experience makes clear that any sequence of sound even vaguely approximating something remotely sounding like “hey siri” will trigger Siri.

Google's assistant ain't better. Every few days something random will make it trigger on my or my wife's phone. Every time my mom visits, something ends up triggering it on her phone. Google must have made an update or something, because all those false positives started suddenly a few months back. The first time was both the most irritating and the most hilarious. We have an old phone loaded with some educational videos and select songs for our 3.5 y.o., which we recently let her handle herself when she asks for it (and wasn't otherwise misbehaving for most of the day). So one time, we gave her the phone when she asked, and a minute later, we heard an increasingly agitated voice from the children's room, saying "I don't like you. I DON'T LIKE YOU. GO AWAY." - and we noticed we are not hearing the music. I went over to check, and sure enough, Google's assistant somehow triggered in the middle of the video, pausing it, refusing to turn itself off, and saying some nonsense. (The hilarious bit is that my daughter perfectly summed up what my wife and I learned to think about the voice assistants. We don't like you. GTFO.)
