Which assistant would you choose?


Amazon has introduced a new male voice named Ziggy for their Echo smart speakers, joining the female voice Alexa.

I think Alexa has the better singing voice. ("Alexa, sing a pirate song.")

You can change the voice by saying "Alexa, change your voice", and the wake word by saying "Alexa, change your wake word." You'll have to do both if you want a male voice that responds to "Ziggy".

I, too, was thinking of the user ZiggiStardust immediately after reading the title of this topic.

G) I choose silence, and also the facade of inconvenience that comes with instead waiting on purchases and making them manually after a brief period. So, you know, no such device for me.

Neither.

If I could pick any voice set for a personal assistant it would probably be Cortana, except Microsoft's system is shit and I don't like using any of the personal assistant programs anyway.

Because the good one died years ago.

...though I've mentioned in the past that I feel like the Kurzgesagt YouTube channel was strongly influenced by the original Hitchhiker's Guide both in voice and style/animation:

Thanks for reminding me of that channel. I think i bookmarked it in the past but lost track of it somehow.

I loved the old Hitchikers guide mini-series. Think I may watch it again sometime soon.

The radio show was much better than the TV show. Partly because of budget, but partly because the couple recasts were all for the worse.

But both (and the books) were better than the movie. Ugh, the movie.

The female voice always sounds better for these kind of things.

As "tech savy" as I am, I would never have an Alexa/Cortona/Syri/whatever. I don't mind the Google assistant barking directions at my while I drive though.
