God, when Google starts putting this level of smarts in their smart speaker I might have to trash my Alexa. An AI that can hold an actual conversation and understand what I want it to do? The smart home might actually get smart, finally!

Still want Amazon and Apple to keep trying though. Competition in this area is a good thing, helps keep innovation going and prices reasonable.

Although none of these companies are exactly spotless on privacy so having an AI assisted smart speaker might raise the stakes even higher on that front. Hopefully the EU manages to get some better laws on that front in time to curb more of that by the time this is in products like that. Because sadly my government doesn't seem capable of figuring this tech stuff out.
