“Alexa, what’s tomorrow’s weather [dada]?”
- azinman2 7mo agoBecause that’s extremely unnatural.
- miki_oomiri 7mo agoWhen I speak to an agent, siri, or whatnot, I am always worried that they will assume I'm done talking when I'm thinking. Sometimes I need a many-seconds pause. Even maybe a minute… For Sire and such, I want to ask something simple "Hey Siri, remind me to call dad tomorrow". Easy. But for Claude and such, I want to go on a long monolog (20s, a minute, multi-minutes). To me, be the best solution would be semantic + keyword + silence. Hey Agent, blablablabla, thank you. Hey Agent, blablablabla, please. Hey Agent, blablablabla, oops cancel.

- layer8 7mo agoNever skip an opportunity for a dad joke.
- tmstieff 7mo agoI have the same issue. It gives this very weird minor sense of public speaking anxiety where I almost feel the need to write down what I'm about to say, which negates the whole purpose. Only solution I've found is using push-to-talk with some of the system wide STS applications.
- ktos 7mo ago"Alexa, what's tomorrow's weather? Over." "It will be sunny with a high of 10 degrees. Over" "Thank you. Over and out." Just add some noise and Push-To-Talk and it will be great for ham radio enthusiasts!
