I use voice assistants for one task:

Setting a timer.

The oven is in another area of the house, so when I come back to squeeze in some work, I often just said "Voice Assistant, set a timer for 10 minutes!"

And that's about it.

Apart from that I worked on some chat-bots in the past and it's the very same thing to me, just even a bit worse because of audio.

Natural language processing simply isn't there AND there is just a few very niche use cases in my eyes.

So if they go away again, I won't cry or rather my tears will dry fast.
