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.
