Also, don't use a common male/female name for a voice assistant the same way you don't use a common name for a dog. You don't want to be calling your assistant or pet and some nearby person looks up.

PS: If you have a grudge against your neighbor, you could use their first name for your dog >:)

I agree, in fact, I think our AI deserve far less regard than pets or even our least favorite being (spiders and molds and such).

I want to call my voice assistant robot "Assistant" or just say "Computer", like in Star Trek.
