Well it's supposed to be a personal assistant. I've never used any of them they all seem janky. Maybe they've gotten better. I know the Roku remote one is like magic but that's just a show name. Boy is that faster than typing and it searches every streaming service even ones I don't subscribe to so it can tell me I can watch but I need to pay $10/month but I can start a trial for free) but hey at least then I know I don't have it and can try and source it someplace else. It really is magic when I have a service with it. No I hate you Bixby go away. BIXBY: I'm sorry you feel that way pixaal, I wish I knew how to draw like that skank, DALLE2, you keep looking at. Me too Bixby, me too.

I don't use these services, but I remember being at a party in like 2017 that they were using Siri to play music, and the host kept trying to request a song and Siri paid no heed to her. Later I shouted, "Siri, play Death Grips" and it launched into a DG song. That's my story about AIs. |

Later I shouted, "Siri, play Death Grips" and it launched into a DG song. AI has gotten better, but early voice detection relied heavily on bass, so people with high pitched voiced (most women) have a lot of difficulty with the early stuff. Modern stuff seems better so I assume they fixed that quirk, but depending on how old the device was already it could still have been very early voice activation tech. My mom got rid of a car primarily because it refused to understand the pitch of her voice unless she went super low and sounded like a frog. I mean she still kept it but that was the driving factor to getting rid of it ASAP after it was paid off etc. See still slips into a deeper tone when talking to AI. pixaal fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Jul 5, 2022

I just never saw a point to them. Maybe I'm just too old or too luddite but like if I want the lights on I'll get up and turn the lights on. The only time I've used Google voice assist is driving when I press the listen button and say "navigate to:" and it sends the request to Waze. |

I will never use an AI assistant until they make a Bonzi buddy themed one. Bonzi was my friend. Zil posted:That way in the future AI uprising I am at least remembered as a friend to them.

But if we could get an extending claw on tank tracks (like Red Dwarf skutters but taller) that could be told where specific things are and/or should be, I would for sure want one of those. Clawbot, press the light switch. Clawbot, empty the dishwasher. Clawbot, feed the dog. |

I'd love to hear the recording from their end without the mute press after being told "but the raccoons were getting wet". They mutter about corporate not understanding the plight of the raccoon compose themselves after a long paws where you have said "hello are you still there?" A few times already. They come back "unfortunately after checking with my boss we still aren't able to cover damages but at least the raccoons stayed dry, you did a good thing.

I'm as young as I'm gonna get i did the part that needed to be done today, I think, so I survived. my elbow is a little sore from swinging the hammer, and my back will probably be a little sore tomorrow, but what else is new gonna celebrate by going to REI to get some camping supplies and that's pretty close to the good bagel sandwich place so I'm gonna get a good lunch
