I'm still waiting for the day Google Assistant can answer "what time does Home Depot open in the morning?"

GA: "I found 3 locations, which one?"

Me: "The closest one"

GA: "I found 3 locations, which one?"

What was the point of feeding Google all my location history data if it can't even figure out which Wegmans I go to?

This is how I feel about pretty much all the most data-hungry services. It's never been about an improved use experience, because the quality is not there.

I can't count how many times I yelled/cried about Spotify trying to learn every mood I've ever felt (and what song would have been perfect for the moment!) only to play the same 4 songs over and over because I listened to one of them on purpose a week ago. (I no longer use Spotify. We'll see if Tidal falls into the same trap.)

google assistant is probably still not Bard powered, so it just means someone didn't coded some rule: user asked "closest one" -> locate user location -> locate home depot closest to that location

Like what type of input where they expecting here?

Alexa does the same thing talking to smart devices.

Me: Alexa, turn of the loft lights

Alexa: A few things share the name "loft" which one did you mean?

Me: Can you list them?

Alexa: I did not find a device named "can you list them loft"

Even better if they all open at the same time, which is the case near me

This reads like a sad variation of the traveling salesman problem.
