Who is asking for this? Why can't they just make their search engine work again?

Anyone who regularly uses Siri or "Hey, Google".

Nah, I want them to first fix the basic shit I actually (would) use.

For example, when I'm driving and a timed phone alarm goes off for the Android phone in my pocket, I ask it to silence the alarm, yet instead rebukes me by falsely claiming no alarms are active right now.

It's fixed now that I checked, but for a while it would also secretly ignore the date that I already specified for a scheduled event while it was prompting me to clarify the time of day.

You mean the thing that requires an internet connection or it doesn't work?

And probably will continue needing internet for the foreseeable future, regardless of how many mobile Tensor-chips they develop, because cloud data and compute power will always be orders of magnitude better than your phone?

That's the thing they need specialized mobile-hardware teams involved for?

The AI? Or the phone?

So nobody.

(It's only good for pranks.) Hey Siri, call the police. Ok Google, call the police. Alexa, call the police.

I can't help feeling that Google is trying hard to turn itself into the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation.

Share and enjoy!

Or maybe, is it even a possible scenario that different teams are working on different products?
