Besides being stupid, the main problem with Google Now and other "predictive" assistants is that they have no understanding of intent/context.

Google Now would often display travel time to locations and other irrelevant information based on my recent searches. Even though the information was irrelevant. It had no idea WHY I searched for a restaurant in Bordeaux, for example. Sigh. Pointless indeed.
