Ok, but in the original comment you were talking about the conversations being stilted and mostly limited to pre-baked commands like Siri/Alexa/etc. That's what I was saying doesn't apply here Vendor lock-in is a whole separate question. I agree it will be interesting to see how it plays out, and as with most new technologies there will be plenty of opportunities for abuse. Though I'm also not sure this problem is one that's fundamentally new and specific to AI

No I didn’t mean the output was stilted, more so that there was only so much reach Alexa/Siri/etc have, so when ever the UI was trying to get you to use it, the best UX any of them came up with was You can ask things like: What was the score last night? How tall is the Eiffel Tower? Turn off the lights. (Etc) I personally think that’s a pretty opaque way of showing what a device/application can do. Now that they can do MUCH more, these weird data borders get more invisible but still exist. How do you outline “this is what this AI can do” to users? In contrast to traditional UI with buttons and links that make the options comparatively more obvious. You can see all the options in front of you.
