In an amazing demo at Google I/0, Google's Assistant can actually ring up a salon or a restaurant to make an appointment for you. You don't have to call yourself even if the pizzeria doesn't have an online reservation system.

    "Google Assistant, break up with my girlfriend tomorrow night please." - "Hi, I'm calling for a client...."

    This will probably get to the point where Google Assistant is calling other Google Assistants.
  • “Hey Siri, what time is it?” Siri: “Here are some web results about watches.”

    Millions of people working in call centers just saw how their job was replaced.

    Great. An AI is better at social interaction than me.
  • Imagine this technology in gaming, speak into your microphone to an npc and they understand what you say and respond correctly
  • @Macusercom
    When your crush calls you but Google Assistant is speaking 😂

    next step: AI does not only make the appointment with the salon, but also receives the haircut

    "Hey Google, call my parents and pretend to be my girlfriend."

    Man: Hey Google, tell my wife that I cant make for the dinner with her parents. Google Assistant: Okay, will do. After sometime... Google Assistant: Next time, you talk to your wife yourself..!!

    My main concern is-- did Lisa actually show up for her haircut appointment?
  • @SanNico
    PLOT TWIST: the other woman at the line is SIRI V2

    I work in customer service and got a phone call from their AI asking if we were open the next day for google maps. It communicated so perfectly that when it said it was an AI I almost laughed
  • 😂😂😂 It will be funny if assistant is on the other side too
  • @NekoMouser
    The subtle voice fluctuations are amazing, too.
  • @CherryLax
    I'll never have to talk to people on the phone again!

    This was 5 years ago. Meanwhile, in 2023, the Google Assistant on my phone or Smart Alarm Clock won't even tell me if it's going to rain today when I ask it about the weather today. I have to ask it separately if it's going to rain! 🤷‍♂

    Send Siri my sincere condolences. Oh wait, she probably wouldn't understand anyway
