Not smart enough yet


Basically the google app on my phone that I can get to by saying "OK google" is running the same software as Alexa or whatever her name is.

I ask it (during baseball season) "Who's the starting pitcher for the Orioles tomorrow" and it can't tell me.

I ask it "Which is faster to get to [point in DC], taking 295 or 95, today?". It brings up navigation and shows me a map, which I could look at. But if I'm driving I don't want to LOOK at it. I just want it to say "take 95" or "take 295". And I also don't want it to start navigating and telling me the four turns needed to get out of my neighborhood. "In 500 feet, take a right off your court onto...". I'm pretty good at getting out of my neighborhood.

I asked it the other day for the distance between a hotel I was considering in Orlando and Camping World Stadium... and it couldn't even answer that.

Wake me up when the AI is improved. Shouldn't be that hard. Right now the things it can do are too limited.
