@joshbressers It will take years for the assistant to make so few mistakes that you won’t freak out and always double-check if the reservation was actually made. By that time, OpenTable may have reached such a market penetration that your problem will be solved anyway.

Watch the video. The time it takes to the user to instruct Google Assistant on what to do is the same it takes to Google Assistant to actually book the table with the restaurant. There’s no tangible gain to justify it > A closer look at Google Duplex https://t.co/oyVLe1jYEM

@rakyll @sallamar True. Also true that the majority of users don’t want to go from A to B with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 almost identical alternatives, especially when a vendor forces them to go from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 to 5 to 6 without any valid reason. Just sayin’ 🙂

My partner in crime and I will try to use this for the #AI-based artwork we are building. https://t.co/Ows6ydkCoB

Unrelated to my project, this is yet another #AI approach that might contribute to continuous tracking of every individual in public space. As I said before, *if* we move in unique ways, our body language might be as much of a footprint as other unique features we have.
