Why the flying fuck does everyone seem to use voice assistants and AI bullshit. I don’t need to waste five seconds to get a bullshit response and to repeat myself when I don’t get the wrong answer or to switch the light in the room next to me when I can make ten steps

For turning on lights and starting and stopping a Heatpump, voice assistants are awesome.

Turning on and off lights and setting timers is what most people use Alexa for. And a certain number use it for music too.

Most people don’t use any of the “assistant” or “ai” features these smart speakers have.

I’ve found it difficult to find other uses. But these ones are great.

Oh, leave me alone…

A smart home should know by itself when to turn the lights on for me, and without me needing to tell it every single time.

I want voice assistant when it is able to fetch me another beer from the fridge.
