I’ve had a Google Home mini in my house for about 7 years now. I love it for quick answers when my partner and I are talking, especially sports. Asking a quick “Hey Google, how many goals does Alex Tuch have” and it just says it quickly and we continue our conversation without really stopping.
But to actually get complex answers? Both my partner and I are highly intelligent people. We can find anything we need to. The last thing we’ll ever fucking do is even trust AI to get it right, let alone be the source of our information.
Shit, even my Google home has fucked up sports stats because AI is dumb as shit.
If it’s important enough, we’ll fact check. Or search for it ourselves. There’ve been plenty of times we’re having kitchen time together and we’re involved in a rather complex conversion. If we ask it something and it comes back with something that doesn’t sound quite right we’ll just search for it ourselves. It’s sometimes easier just to ask it because we don’t need to break our conversation together while it talks to us.
We basically just use it as a very quick, simple resource for basic information. Mostly “What’s the weather tomorrow?” or something like that.
It’s mostly used as a bluetooth speaker for our kitchen.
It is lazy, and infuriating as it becomes mainstream.

I know sports scores aren’t all that critical even if it’s wrong, but aren’t you worried that it’s just making up some random info?
