People use smart assistants for weather, timers and music – same as a decade ago

Because most of the smart assistants are pretty dumb. Everyone that I've tried to use for purposes beyond those very simple things listed here has utterly failed me. Oftentimes they lie or if it's not lying it's definitely a hallucination and it is quite confident in its untruths. Then they'll often get stuck in loops because you can tell it information where it can see that what it previously said was untrue and it will acknowledge it was untrue then it will go right back to repeating the untruth.

Many of the AI models are so neutered that it seems like they were made for 4-year-old children attending a Sunday school class. I'm an adult and I want to interact with an AI that can treat me and speak to me like an adult. I want to interact with it on my level not on some corporate pre-programmed neutered dystopian society level.

I got tired of my Alexa+ and it's infantile AI and I unplugged it. It is utterly useless and there is no effective AI functionality in it.

AI has the potential for engaging and stimulating conversations to be an alternate form of entertainment rather than TikToks and the YouTubes but every time I've interacted with it and it's current form it can't do any of those things.
