    Every couple of years I try out the latest “assistant”. I ask very simple queries, stuff that you might expect it to be able to handle. It always disappoints hilariously.

    Questions where previous assistants consistently and utterly failed: “What’s the weather going to be like today?” “I want to go to [address], using public transport, can you tell me which routes I have to take?” “What are my appointments today?”

    You’d think these are pretty obvious use-cases, but every iteration of assistants was completely incapable of getting even close to a satisfying answer. I don’t expect LLMs to fare better this time around.

      I only use voice to interact with my phone when I’m driving and want to set a destination, or if I’m at home and can’t find my phone.

      Somehow I doubt that AI will help tell me my phone fell off the nightstand and is half way under the bed.
