Star Trek computer remains the ultimate ideal.

Basically sums up why i don't use any kind of voice assistant still. Until the computer can DO exactly and precisely what i asked -- not what it's faulty recognition model thinks i asked -- there's zero point to trying to talk to it

I have one device in my house on Alexa called "under cabinet lights", I asked Alexa to "turn on the cabinet lights" she said "several things share the name cabinet lights, which one do you mean?" (As if there's enough information there to answer the question) I told her "all of them" thinking maybe the lights got duplicated or something.

She turned on every smart home light in the house.

That isn't your ideal world?

Not sure how that works with Alexa but can't you customize names of bulbs, rooms so you could call for light at specific place?

Does it do the right thing if you ask if to turn on the under cabinet lights?

No, it turns on my office ceiling fan
