A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

What does Google assistant do, am I missing out?

Assists google in grabbing that sweet user data.

Google assistant is like Siri, Alexa, Bixby or Cortana. A AI assistant, Google includes it in almost every smartphone in some way, that they have control of.

Yeah ok, but how to get real relevant conversations with them?

I'm usually stuck to 'play this' or 'how do I get there' stuff

You are right, chat GPT is more conversational than Google assistant, the comment was probably a joke.

You know those crazy ideas you get in the shower? You can shout at Google to take a note before you forget them or ask Google questions to figure out whether your idea will work out.
