I imagine that if I put 10 iPhones on a desk and say "Hey Siri", that wouldn't work out too well. Doesn't mean we have to start "blaming" people, companies and things.
To the article’s point, Amazon’s has no problem Determining which should answer a question if they are all the same account piled on your desk.
It's redundant and counterproductive to have multiple devices listening for the code phrase.
At this point to me it seems like most of it is basically toy technology without any real benefit unless you're visually impaired or unable to use your hands or something. People went from voice messaging to texting with other people because tactile inputs are often faster, so it's always puzzled me what the point is of talking to machines who can't even understand things properly half the time.
No. The "entire point" is to provide an easier way to do some interactions. On this point, they work super well. They're just not magic or perfect.
However, it definitely IS useful to state the point that way, because it makes it easier to argue that they're pointless toy technologies, thereby allowing you to feel superior.
