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

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.
