There seems to be a lot of that “storing” gig going around!
Could be, Betty, this might be the final"Big Brother"link.
For some reason, it feels unnatural not to thank Google once it does whatever thing I’ve asked of it.
It’s not a “she”, it’s an “it”.
AFAIK, you do pick a male or female voice, so to me, that sort of gives it gender.
Like a doll… they may not be real, but I just can’t call Barbie “It.”
Meanwhile, don’t they “learn” your preferences from your frequent use, like my android phone keyboard?
I’d be afraid “she” would start using that language “herself”… and probably in an inappropriate situation.
For instance, you say “Roxi, please tell a joke,” to demonstrate to a neighbor…
and out comes one containing a stream of invective, like what “she” hears in your house.
Yes, be rude to the machines programmed by people who hate other people, then some day: “Roxi, I’m having a heart attack!” “The Art museum opens at 10 am.”
Betty, have him watch The Measure Of A Man on STNG.
Meanwhile, ask him if he’d like a dope slap and a bar of soap.
Modern day version of ‘Elf on a Shelf’?
Instead of “don’t talk to Roxie like that” – how about “don’t talk like that!” (period…)
And don’t be surprised when ‘Roxie’ starts parroting back your words.
Isn’t the larger issue that civilized people don’t talk like that in general?
Isn’t the larger issue that civilized people don’t talk like that—and not in their home.
Junior needs his butt kicked.
But he could have been asking a legitimate question: The @#!% capital of Nevada is probably Las Vegas, not Carson City…
I rarely use “Siri” on my iPad, but when I do, I say thank you and she usually replies “you are welcome.” It’s a little scary.
