Mm-hmmm

AI is just getting ridiculous now! Check out this real conversation that Google Duplex has with another human being! It's seamless and the real person can't even tell that they are speaking to a machine (a smart one at that)! The conversation is a lot less awkward than some I have witnessed between human and human!

This I would assume will be a game changer for Google Assistant. I love my Google Home Assistant as I find it super useful. I love not having to pull out my phone just to "Google" things up, I love the ability to play almost any song/album/radio station upon request and adding events to my Calendar/Keep, I use it to cast movies/shows onto my other devices, I use it to set timers, tell me recipes, convert units and do so many other simple things around the house.

The most impactful thing I have used Google Assistant for was when my wife was away at a business conference and my son Cooper was running a fever. I was holding him and he wouldn't let me put him down for me to grab my phone. I needed my phone so that I could search for "the normal temperature of a toddler (in Celsius) should be", so I just asked the Google Assistant that we have via a Google Home in our room and got my answer right away. It was simply amazing. Simple but revolutionary.

I can't wait to get to use this new one!
