I used to have a google home in my flat and after moving I never set it up again. After the honeymoon period you quickly realise that the only thing you can really do with it is set alarms, timers, and ask it dumb questions. Once you get bored of that you just find yourself not using it.

Maybe some cool IoT smart home shit could change my opinion on that, but even that is limited. If I turned on my oven and it sent an alert across my flat that it's up to temp that would be super useful, but the way Google Home and Alexa are designed means that you have to specifically ask for them to give you feedback instead of them coming up with feedback on their own, which isn't a natural interaction. In the end, you just kind of forget they exist as they collect dust and eventually end up in the bin.

Of all the awesome tech made in the last decade, smart assistants are genuinely the biggest overhyped disappointment to me.

It was never about you. At least, it was never about doing anything useful for you.

It was about collecting information on you to sell.
