What AI failures have Google had? Google Home is much better than Siri or Alexa. The camera feature in Google Translate works really well. Their new auto subtitles on Android work really well. Searching photos for objects works really well.

The only thing I can think of is that think they demoed that would call restaurants to book them for you, but that was clearly highly experimental, and it's not like Apple has done that.

None of those are at risk of taking over as a revenue stream from ads on search and YouTube, is my point. You're right that it's cool stuff but right now it is being subsidized by a staggeringly more profitable business. I'm skeptical of their ability to pivot away from the dependency on search, which is good enough, obviously, but they seem to have higher aspirations of which they consistently fall short.

I really do want to see them succeed I guess I'm just overall disappointed with where they're at right now and I think they've somewhat overhyped it. I'm not a voice assistants person, I disable Siri personally.

Ok what's your point? Does Apple's search engine work for this query?
