I don't think privacy is the main issue with this product launch, yes it is a major issue but we had these discussions already with Google Now, Cortana, etc. There's nothing new to discuss.

The main topics I am surprised:

1. Why do I need a dedicated device if any phone can do this too?

2. I think Google is capable of doing way more than Amazon AI-wise since they have more NLP experience and more data about us and the world

3. This is another time that Bezos launches a questionable product which will probably fail (Amazon Fire), the one success in the hardware space of Amazon is the Kindle though
