"Ok Boomer" activates Google Assistant

[bestone4ever]

No shit. If you have an Android phone or a Google Home. Try it!

Your phone knows your age, boomer.

google assistant is the reason i flipped my phone to make it lefthanded. i was sick of accidentally turning that fucking thing on.

Google assistant is a worthless app. As near as I can tell the entire function of the app is to get you lulled into a false sense of security that your phone through software created by Google suddenly isn't paying any attention to what you say and can't understand you.

If you know how to maximize it for what it's made for, it's a nice little tool.

I find the notion of sitting alone in a room and carrying on a conversation with an electronic device to be a bit too George Orwellian...or George Jetsonian.

why do GB regulars busted using alts always gratuitously mention an imaginary, never-before-mentioned wife to "prove" they are not who they quite obviously are? lol

That's kind of a scary thought.

Not really. You typically put that info into your phone when you set it up.

I don't i put up fake info for pretty much everything.

Then you're not taking full advantage of the Assistant and they already have what they need from you. Sucka!

God, i never use google assistant or give my location.

One of the reason my phone is JUST a phone. It doesn't do apps or anything except call people and basic texts.

It can't be tracked because it is usually switched off - so it holds its charge for several months.
