I've dabbled in the virtual assistants because I wanted to see what they can do. Siri (it's been years so I don't know if it improved), Alexa, Google, are all horse shit. Every time I try to use them it works like garbage. They either trigger incorrectly or try to implement something I don't want. The few times they do work correctly I don't trust them because of all the other garbage experiences so I have to double check what they did. That negates the entire point from a time and convenience standpoint.

Google really wants to refer me to a garage door company instead of closing the damn thing.

My dog is better at following basic commands, and she's old, deaf, and dumb as a box of hammers.
