I say "ok google, add a stop for gas" a lot, and it works well for me.
If you were riding with someone, you could say "hey, let's stop at X on the way?"
Voice assistants today require you to conform to an unknown strict protocol that only works if you say the right words in the right order. I prefer to avoid the frustration.
Just today I asked it about a historical figure "hey Google, who was X?" and it replied. I was shocked and felt lucky so I asked "What is ChatGPT?" and it gave me the usual response "sorry, I didn't understand". Seriously, you didn't understand? It could have said something like I couldn't find it in my search results (odd but okay), or that it can't look it up online, etc.
I have to say "asian restaurant" and it finds a bunch of places (many aren't asian at all). But if I say "hey Google, what are the Asian restaurants near neighborhood X with 4 stars or more?" it craps its pants hard.... even though Google Search is totally capable of answering that question.
Me: “OK Google, take me to the Chinese restaurant in Hoboken”
Google Assistant: “Calling Jessica Hobkin”.
"I'd like an iced tea" "An icee?" "No an iced tea" "Hi-C?"
The pattern for current world's voice assistants is: ${brand 1}, ${action} ${brand 2} ${joiner} ${brand 3}.
So, "OK Google, take me to Chinese restaurant in Hoboken using Google Maps".
Which is why I refuse to use this technology until the world gets its shit together.
The two biggest features I want are for the voice assistants to read something for me, and to do something on google/Apple Maps hand free. Neither of these ever work. “Siri/ ok google add the next gas station on the route” or “take me to the Chinese restaurant in Hoboken” seem like very obvious features for a voice assistant with a map program.
The other is why can I tell Siri to bring up the Wikipedia page for George Washington but I can’t have Siri read it to me? I am in the car, they know that, they just say “I can’t show you that while you’re driving”. The response should be “do you want me to read it to you?”
