In the current world:

Me: “OK Google, take me to the Chinese restaurant in Hoboken”

Google Assistant: “Calling Jessica Hobkin”.




You forgot the third brand name.

The pattern for current world's voice assistants is: ${brand 1}, ${action} ${brand 2} ${joiner} ${brand 3}.

So, "OK Google, take me to Chinese restaurant in Hoboken using Google Maps".

Which is why I refuse to use this technology until the world gets its shit together.


This reminds me of ordering at a drive through with a human at times:

"I'd like an iced tea" "An icee?" "No an iced tea" "Hi-C?"
