irenes,

it's really quite a condemnation of voice-assistant UI that we have to memorize the names of all the lights and stuff

there's no way to even ask it "what things can you turn on" or anything like that. you have to get that information from somewhere outside the UI.

irenes,

the challenge that command-line interfaces have always had that is mostly solved with GUIs is that it's the tyranny of the blank page: you could do anything, so you are the one responsible for figuring out what you want

voice assistants are like command lines in this respect... but it's even worse because there's not any sort of manual or anything to learn about it from

Voice assistants are like trying to play a text adventure game when you aren't familiar with the vocabulary and style of interaction of such games.

@irenes and it's so unforgiving, like a command line you'd have to type in one go everytime, no typo allowed, no double check is what you want before running it, did it get a word wrong? Too bad, damage control the situation and try again.

User hostile, if you ask me.
