Now that's a way to name her voice. Pssh, who needs humans?

Google is gonna destroy humanity.

On another note: why are people still using iPhones? The user experience and technology aren't even close nowadays.

I like Google, search engine is in a whole different league compared to anyone else. Not just internet search, but all search in their apps that leverage their engine. Gmail search is a godsend. Google apps suite is also terrific, although their new pricing strategy is a bit of a piss off this year. Their problem is that they just create these new projects and phase them out for no good reason. Ranted a bit about it in the HomeKit thread, worth a read.

Apple still trumps Google in complete user experience across multiple platforms, not only phones, but tablet, TV, and slowly but surely, Mac. It may not be as versatile as others separately, but together it just works (mostly).

I think I would have agreed with you up until recently.

But the way Google Assistant is getting integrated into common, ubiquitous tasks, and how it is revolutionizing the UX of your phone (and all the things in the phone's orbit) is now a core feature of the google experience. And Apple is far, far behind in this functionality. It isn't a side project - but a core piece of the puzzle now. Many times within the last year I've left my Apple-using friends pie-eyed at what I can do with my phone without even picking it up: the examples are numerous by the voice recognition and Maps integration alone are next level.

Google Assistant is annoying as hell on my Shield TV, had to turn it off. I don’t want to speak to 99% of the humans around me and I sure as hell don’t want to talk to my appliances and repeat everything 10 times.

AllHipHop sounds like alipop in the samples they provided. Very disappoint.

It's not bad for searches and turning the system off.
