Few years ago I was in indonesia, Bali and asked google 'navigate to ubud' and it showed me how to navigate to some cities in USA. Same with translation when you want to have simple conversation with locals - each time ends up with embarrassment.
"Alexa, play soothing lullaby music"
"Sure, and don't forget that next week is prime week. Get great deals on all your favorite items....."
I don’t think it’s a fair assessment. Sure it’s the worst out of the 3 but it’s improving, albeit at the speed of 0.3 microgoogles.
My favourite though is asking it to "play Richard the third by Supergrass", Siri responds that it can't find that song on Apple Music, so you ask it to "play Richard eye eye eye by Supergrass" and Siri responds "Now playing Richard the third by Supergrass".
The only things I use Siri for now is to add ONE item to the grocery or set a timer. The timers are useful in the kitchen, but it's hardly worth a Homepad to set a timer.
I wish I had returned it within the return window. At least it sounds great.
For example, asking for specific albums and it will play someone's playlist of the album - in terrible quality because someone uploaded it as a video to YouTube I think part of the problem is that the music catalogue is so poorly maintained/governed on YouTube Music. For example there are many songs that state they are by Little Richard that are actually other artists' songs
Google are well ahead of this lawsuit, the home speakers have been getting slightly worse since Google lost interest and moved on a couple of years ago.
Say what you will about Alexa, but it is the only voice assistant that seemingly keeps improving, Siri is statically-terrible and while Google Assistant was once good, it is worse now than then somehow (although functionality/integrations hasn't evolved).
My favorite thing right now is that a room can have multiple devices (e.g. screens, speakers, etc) but timers don't belong to a room, they belong to an individual Home device, so your screens don't show your timers if your speaker "eats" them. Makes zero sense. Been like that for over a year.
In general Google as an organization is going downhill fast. Google Search is legitimately bad now, I turn on Verbatim Mode and quote everything just to get a so-so experience (still mostly spam though).
