Does anyone knows about the state of the futuristic AI features from Google? I recall a presentation about AI phone assistant that was ordering something on the phone and it was indistinguishable from a human, handling edge cases flawlessly. Are people using AI assistants to make them book places or order things on the phone?

I can definitively say the real-time language translation they demoed on the original Pixel Buds was complete vaporware (and the last time I bought a newly released Google product).

I have yet to get the AI assistant to book anything for me. The only related function I do use is the call screening piece, but that's hardly AI...

I've seen the option to call using Assistant a couple times on Google Maps though I've never given it a try.

Well, it's getting scarier by the second. For example, 'Magic Eraser' was a requested feature by Stalin.

You cannot believe any image on the internet anymore these days. This time it is getting much worse.
