Kind of cringey, feels like I'm watching a Sillicon Valley scene.
Machine learning to one-hit reply "Cute dog"? Billions of dollars and these features seem pretty boring.

#22I've not watched the keynote yet but I'm hopeful the announcement of Home will also come with opening up of Google Now's voice search similar to Alexa. I really want to like Google Now but it's just so limited at the moment - let me control Spotify, Hue bulbs, and my TV with it please!

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't understand why anyone would want to have such a device in their home. How long before they start data mining conversations for better ad targeting? What if a state actor gets access to such devices? Is no one worried at all?
I've seen the ads my Kindle Paperwhite displays as a screensaver, and... no, I'm not worried about Amazon mining my personal information to start doing better ad targeting.
No kidding. And my fiance was under the impression for a while that it was the cover of what I was reading at the time... She was probably somewhat concerned.

#24Oh, no, Google Deflate has started... I watched the Goggle I/O event for 10 minutes. First, they talked about how they copied Siri. And now they are talking about how they copied Amazon Echo. Unlimited resources. Wasted...
Google has had voice search for much longer than Siri has been around. It just isn't branded as well (or at all).

I love what they're rolling out but I definitely feel like I'm at a Hooli event.

It's a classic Google delusion - they produce keynote demos, not products.
This Allo app doesn't solve the problem of people (that actually means all people you talk to) having to opt into it.

#27New Communication apps: New Messaging app Allo. It can add emojis, whisper or shout and has smart replies like Inbox. It can also reply to images. And has the Google smart assistant.
Is this alongside or replacing Hangouts?
A messaging app is only useful if enough of your friends use it.

Oh, and let me address it with something other than "OK, Google". Let me name it, or set the trigger phrase, or do an interpretive dance. Anything but that awful phrase.

Why isn't this hangouts? Are they going to kill that too? I can't get onboard with any of these Google products because they drop them as soon as they have something "cooler"
