"Ok, Google" makes everyone hate saying the word "Google". It is now linked to the emotions of frustration and anger forever.
Slightly on topic: Say "McDonalds!" to end the commercial. https://www.fastcompany.com/90185994/sony-files-patent-to-ma...
Is that the origin of the ‘verification can’: https://www.reddit.com/r/4chan/comments/1ggg4u/please_drink_... ?
Because sure sounds like it is.
Re: Artist releases album called “Ok Google Play Music” on Spotify
#573"OK Google" is the biggest problem I find with Google Home and Google Assistant so far. Things like "Alexa" and "Siri" are short and seem more practical. When I say "Ok Google", I feel like doing a mouth-exercise. And multiply this extra effort over the number of times you need to apply it in a single session. It is a pain. Why didn't Google ever change it?!
Hey googoo also works
As does "Hey Cookie", though it might just be because of my Dutch accent.

As a Google employee, I really don't want to be saying "Ok, Google" in my home all the time. It's totally possible for me to go to work in a subway that has Google ads, waste time on my Pixel, work at the Google office for eight hours, waste time on my Pixel, walk past the same ads on the way home, watch YouTube videos and do Google searches about random topics, and ask Google to set an alarm before I go to sleep. It…
Fuck, I never thought of it that way. Man. Seems kinda relentless. Submit a PR that responds to "Ok Google, enough!" by degoogling your life including automatically submitting your resignation.
Hah! Nothing I ever do will ever remove the "ex-Googler" appellation from me, and it's kinda existential man.

"OK Google"/"hey Google" is one of the reasons I went with Amazon's products instead! (other reasons include that they seem to understand my voice more reliably than Google or Microsoft's systems). I get to call it Computer instead of Alexa too, though if I were stuck with Alexa it would still be preferable to Google (or Amazon for that matter). It's isn't just branding though, if I'm right. The wake word needs to be…
I do seem to recall that being able to set a customer wake-word was in the works at one point. I don't see why the system could not be designed such that one could submit a wake-word, which is analyzed for suitability in terms of being sufficiently distinct in complex audio environments, and then checked against a blacklist. Shouldn't be beyond Google's technical capabilities. The thing is, a LOT of people avoid Goog…
Try rclone for syncing gdrive.

> then checked against a blacklist Unfortunately "enumerating the bad" is a strategy that never survives contact with the public.
Why is this a problem that needs solving? If the user chooses an ineffective word they'll figure it out pretty quickly... and if they choose an offensive one-- that's on them.
They could also walk around saying offensive words when not addressing the computer.
Or is google planning on 'fixing' that too?

I can't understand why I should talk to any of my devices as long as they are as idiotic as they are now and like you describe above doesn't have the slightest idea about how to handle context. That said Siri feels at least 100 times smarter than Google assistant to me, the below are actual (if somewhat anonymized) examples: - Google suggestions when I look at the phone at 5am in the morning: "text random friend of a…
I agree. Google is collecting all of this data, but every time I'm going to Wegmans, "hey google, navigate to wegmans", its always, "I FOUND SEVERAL OPTIONS, WHICH WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO TO?". And in what is apparently always a surprise, I always want to go to closest Wegmans.
Try "hey google, navigate to the nearest Wegmans"

Is out? Since when has Google been good at branding? Look at Google/Android TV’s history. Or even Google Play.
> Since when has Google been good at branding? Google's Mid-2000s marketing and product-nomenclature was on-point though: * Google Mail * Google Maps * Google Image Search
Google Maps and Google Image Search were called that and are still around, but "Google Mail" was never called that and isn't now.

You worked as a chef and used a single timer in Siri and were happy with that? How?! (Siri doesn't support more than one concurrent timer)
> (Siri doesn't support more than one concurrent timer) It has for at least the past couple years now.
I just tried it. It doesn't:
Hey Siri, set a timer for 5 minutes. "OK."
Hey Siri, set another timer for 10 minutes. "A timer is already running, do you want to replace it?"

Siri doesn't support more than one concurrent timer I can't speak for the chef, but it does on HomePod. Each gets its own name and that name is announced when the alarm goes off. " bleep bloop bleepity boop! Eggs timer. bleep bloop bleepity boop!
So multiple timers only work if I get a HomePod and talk to Siri on that?
