Great, now I need to speak with all this extra `require English; English::structure` isn't that kinda against the spirit of these things?

I mean I personally never use Siri or others because I find it easier to get what I want without trying to guess how a computer will interpret. I have the same problem with people, and frankly computers are a nice reprive. Granted I'm not the general user.

Haha. I agree with this sentiment. An additional problem is that the user may not always know which voice assistant(library) can fulfill their request. So now one request has to be forked by the user into multiple ones or chained together to send the same data to all data mining companies. Hey Siri, ask Google to tell Alexa to add this to my shopping cart.

Sounds like they've correctly virtualized certain kinds of dysfunctional corporate environments.

My people.
