I thought the same but it literally doesn't work for me. Just tried it. It plays something random. I tried it on my phone to see what it was doing and it picked "my supermix" once and the song "my likes" the next time.

Did you try please? or tangential for me?

Haha, I'm scared it'll say "I'm afraid I can't do that, Rene" and break the illusion of who the master is and who the slave is.

My fucking Google Home can't even figure out how to play the auto playlist "My Likes" on YouTube Music. Previously, I could say "Play my Thumbs Up" and it could do so on Google Play Music. It keeps playing a song called "My Likes". Jesus fucking Christ, Google. If I say "Play my My Likes playlist" something random happens. Do these guys even use their product? I'm just glad this album didn't come out before the force…

It keeps playing a song called "My Likes" Meanwhile, here in Siri Land... Me: Hey, Siri, add "tomatoes" to my Groceries list. Siri: OK, Reapreducer. Which list should I add it to? Me: Groceries. Siri: OK, Reapreducer. Which list should I add it to? Me: Groceries. Siri: OK, Reapreducer. Which list should I add it to? Me: Groceries. Siri: OK, Reapreducer. Which list should I add it to? Me: Groceries. Siri: OK, Reapredu…

They Just Work™ if you Think Different™.

I don't use any of these "assistants", but curious if you responded with "Groceries List"? Knowing they work on keywords, to Siri, you may not be actually answering her question.

I used to come home and say “Ok Google, turn on the lights.”

80% of the time my lights would turn on.

20% of the time, I’d be greeted with: “Ok, playing ‘Turn on the Lights’ by Future on Spotify.”

And I’d stand there in the dark, listening to music I don’t like, questioning my life decisions.

Think of the assistants as young children. As a reference, someone I know spent some time in Miami with his wife and 2 young kids. After some time, the young son told his dad that he wanted to go back to "yourhammy". The dad eventually decoded "yourhammy" was the kid's interpretation of Miami as My-hammy. Your Likes => My Likes reminded me of that story.

You shouldn't have to treat a Smart assistant like a child.

YouTube Music is so bad. Comically bad. I had an amazing indie music discovery service in Google Play Music. I found so many fantastic underplayed artists, and it helped me explore all the small music venues in my city. I've got a wall full of signed albums from artists I discovered with Google Play Music. YouTube music recommends Britney Spears . It's so awfully wrong about my tastes. It also randomly inserts YouTub…

Checkout this product I made a couple years ago after rdio shut down: It basically connects Spotify music info to YouTube songs: https://minotaur.fm

Dude if this is an issue that evokes such rage you might want to think about how good you have it.

Siri is hit and miss, but setting timers (for cooking) always works. > Hey Siri, set a timer for 8 minutes. > Ok. 8 minutes and counting.

For you maybe. > Hey Siri, set a timer for 13 minutes > 30 minutes and counting. > Hey Siri, set a timer for thirteen minutes. > oh you already have a timer running, do you want me to change it? > yes Also I have set timers and lock the phone ‘too early’ and the timer was lost

I have the opposite problem where Siri always starts a timer for 13 minutes when I want 30. I've adjusted to setting the timer for 31 minutes.
