Man alexa is bad. I got the high end one with a display. It was impressively stupid, didn't seem to "know" anything. It would either fail, or just return search results. Would annoying display something interesting on the display and ask you to inquire about it, only to profess it knew nothing when asked. I ended up unplugging it.
Google Assistant on the other hand "knew" things. List movies from a director, verify if an actor was in a movie, pull random facts like the wheelbase of a 2004 subaru WRX. When having a discussion with friends/family I'd rather ask google to verify something then the annoying habit of checking out the conversation to check my phone. Last thing I want is to hang out with people who mostly end up looking at their phones.
GA does seem stupider than it was, seems like they are using a smaller model for cheaper inference. But GA still pretty good at random facts, weather, timers, alarm clock, playing music, broadcasting to the household, and related.
