Do you remember Dreamweaver in the 2000s? It wrote utterly spaghetti webpages based on an editing GUI. Everyone thought there'd be no more web developers by 2010. Squarespace doesn't rule all. And all those prefab sites are just mountains of garbage code today. There's no AI replacing creative thinkers. There's no AI coming to do all the many faucets of your job, just some of them.

I asked it to turn on my office light this morning. The speaker turned it on, my phone turned it off. This assistant is one step up from worthless because it can't be relied on.

I agree. We're already seeing things that augment systems for humans thus reducing head count. Things like 'self checkout' are a perversion of this, but robots are helpful at quick prep restaurants, as parking attendants, etc. Software has been rooted into even meal prep for 3-4 decades. It on average increases productivity over time.

I'll believe it when the stupid assistant can actually answer questions consistently.

Oh it's infuriating if you're playing two kinds of media in different parts of the house. We even pay for YT premium! The assistant hasn't been good for almost 3 years now.
