A usual conversation my wife had with Google:
> okay Google set a timer for 15 mins
Certainly, and did you know I can also set an alarm for 6 am in the kitchen?
> Fuck off Google
- gleenn 3y agoI'm not dying for them to record more than absolutely necessary, but I really hope all the voice ui engineers do log curses to know when their app is doing annoying stuff. The number of times these things screw up I definitely get really spicy and hope that feedback makes it back.

- happymellon 3y agoLuckily the Google Assistant is basically worthless. Setting a timer and have it remind you that you could have set an alarm instead is annoying, but there have been multiple examples where we set a timer and the Google home mini seems to forget it. > okay Google, set a timer for 1 hour >> Certainly, and did you know that I can also look up Wikipedia entries for you. >> Timer for 1 hour has been set and is starting now > okay Google, how much longer left on timer >> You don't appear to have any timers set at this time. I'm pretty sure that our robot overlords will either forget, get distracted with generating mis-information, or become artists painting portraits of furries.
- cavisne 3y agoI remember (maybe its still like this!) there used to be a page you could go to and see all your alexa voice clips since forever. It's amazing amazon has gone so long not caring about privacy without backlash.
