Grandmas aren't especially well-known for their razor sharp opsec skills..

That needs to change as much as anything else. We have to adapt, too. This can't be a unilateral thing. We need to change in response to the world around us, and if we don't, we won't survive.

Shifting the responsibility to stay safe from complex attacks to the user will never work for a tech company, even one with the resources available to Google. If Google Assistant is a reliable way of scamming grandmas it will fail because there'll be constant negative news about it in the press.

How about "Alright sweetheart, just tell me what the last chain message I sent said."
This one is quite scary. "Grandma, I'm stuck in Malta and people are after me, send me immediately 500 through Western Union"
Or you get called by your boss: "I need you to urgently send this payment or our production factory goes down".
