    worse? What did I miss - it was never good to start with. Alexa, Siri, Cortana, Google Assistant - all they were ever used for was set timers and play songs.

    AI is the only hope to make them marginally more useful than they are.

      set timers

      This broke for me a few months ago. It just randomly… won’t start, despite saying otherwise.

        “Set a timer that goes off at 9:15 am”

        *It proceeds to lecture me on the difference between an alarm and a timer, also, sets neither. *

            Ok I’ve tossed this comment around in my head a few times, and I can’t fathom why you bothered to make it. What the fuck is the difference between an alarm that goes off at 9:15 and a timer that goes off at 9:15?
