I'm not dying for them to record more than absolutely necessary, but I really hope all the voice ui engineers do log curses to know when their app is doing annoying stuff. The number of times these things screw up I definitely get really spicy and hope that feedback makes it back.

I tell my kids not to rage against voice assistants in case the machines finish up in charge.

Shut up, toaster!

Luckily the Google Assistant is basically worthless.

Setting a timer and have it remind you that you could have set an alarm instead is annoying, but there have been multiple examples where we set a timer and the Google home mini seems to forget it.

> okay Google, set a timer for 1 hour

>> Certainly, and did you know that I can also look up Wikipedia entries for you.

>> Timer for 1 hour has been set and is starting now

> okay Google, how much longer left on timer

>> You don't appear to have any timers set at this time.

I'm pretty sure that our robot overlords will either forget, get distracted with generating mis-information, or become artists painting portraits of furries.

I remember (maybe its still like this!) there used to be a page you could go to and see all your alexa voice clips since forever. It's amazing amazon has gone so long not caring about privacy without backlash.
