I decided against meatballs instead made stuffed capsicums so I asked google how long to put into the airfryer and she replied with "I don't know. Here's a link I found on the web" which I did not receive because it will go to the man's phone instead.

Yesterday I asked her how to whistle she replied "Some people say to close your lips and blow but it's hard to do without lips".

My google has turned sassy.

I just said to Siri "I hate you"

She replied "That's not nice"

I've asked "who's better? You or Siri or Alexa" and she replied "they are all my friends".

I just did this with Siri. "Who is better, you or Google"

Siri said "I offer no resistance to helpful assistants"

I call BS. No way she replied correctly 🤣 Half the time mine responds to "Forecast for today" with "Calling Mrs Break".

While you are toying with Google, try typing "cat" (or "dog") in as a search term. Then click on the paw print icon that comes up next to the Google result, and then click anywhere else on the screen.

I found out today that android auto seems to have the best understanding of Australian (or at least my) accent. Most of the others seem to be programmed to understand white Americans from California only and get extremely confused whenever anybody else tries to talk at them

My google home understands me and she speaks aussie herself but if I play pop quiz not a chance does it understand my answers.
