Isn't that the whole point of an obscure catchword? To avoid the computer intercepting normal conversation?

  Sure, but that's just an artifact of the crude capabilities of current speech recognition. A sufficiently advanced speech recognition engine wouldn't need you to insert a stopword to know that you're talking to it. It would just... know.

    That's a bit strange. I don't always know whether people are talking to me, and I wouldn't say my speech recognition is crude. Why don't they just allow for naming a device? You'd use names in your everyday conversation.

    Sometimes I, as a human being, don't know if someone is talking to me unless they preface their statement with my name. How are computers supposed to be any better?

      Long term, because it can monitor way more world state and be designed with as much processing power as necessary; you have one brain and don't want to spend 100% of your time working out if someone is talking to you.
