Someone has to say it: Voice assistants are not doing it for big tech

My friend's Alexa

We hang out at our friends house on a regular basis. I have seen Alexa used for precisely two things:

1) Set a timer for whatever is cooking.

2) Getting called out to play Wheeler Walker Junior.

Seriously. One of the guys will shout out "Alexa, play Wheeler Walker Junior". Then the girls will roll their eyes and head to the other room. Then someone will say "Alexa, all speakers, level 10".

Usually this is after the third round of drinks. That is really all I ever see Alexa used for. A toy at a party.
