Remember when AI voice assistants couldn't even tell you the weather without messing up?

I was setting up a new smart speaker for a job site last week and it hit me how far these things have come. 5 years ago I spent 10 minutes yelling at mine just to get it to set a timer for lunch. Now it can schedule whole work weeks. Has anyone else had that moment where you realize you just take this stuff for granted now?

Twenty minutes sounds like a lot of time to be mad at a speaker, not gonna lie. If it's ordering pizza instead of playing music, maybe just unplug it and use your phone. These things aren't that deep.

Call all of that progress a step backwards honestly. These things still mess up constantly but now they do it with more confidence and take longer to fix. Spent twenty minutes last week trying to get mine to understand "play music from my phone" and it just kept ordering pizza instead.

Three times before it finally stopped, @hayden144 sounds like yours has a career change in mind.
