This billion-$ industry seems headed for a crash. A well-designed, Jobsian UI will always beat an Alexa/Siri voice assistant. We desire the ambiguity of voice only when we find a human at the other end.https://twitter.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1051622903538565120 …

Simon, agree. I think the power will come like it does with human to human interactions, with context. The deeper the context you have the more rewarding the interaction become. We are in the Stone Age with Alexa/Siri with deep context for they are not true personal assistants.

A machine one wants to talk to seems to be an AI-complete problem. Speaking is an act, and not one the human mind takes lightly.
@PaulSkallas will have some Lindy thoughts on that.2 replies 1 retweet 3 likes -

There's no ancient antecedent to speaking to AI. Alexa and Siri are terrible, awkward and alienating. But it's not because they are in the stone age, but because humans want to talk to other humans. You can feel it when you speak to these AI assistants. It doesn't feel right

Paul, absolutely agree. Things like Speech disfluency have impacted Google Duplex. We tend to hold much meaning in the disfluency so much so it cross the uncanny valley of creepiness for some. Yet once AI masters our need for these types of experiences, we do not turn back.
