iOS Dev Weekly - Issue 351 - May 11th 2018

Comment So Google had their I/O conference this week and you almost certainly saw the demo of Google Duplex which has been everwhere since it happened. I don't want to get into it in too much detail here, but my thoughts can be summed up as follows: The assistant should probably identify itself at the start of the call by saying something like "This is the Google Assistant calling on behalf of ..." for a few reasons mentioned below. I don't have a problem with the ethics or concept of the technology for this specific use case. If the business receiving the call doesn't want this kind of call, they just implement a compatible online booking system and Google will use that instead of calling them. Of course we need to be very careful with how this kind of technology is used in the future, but I don't think this is the start of the apocalypse just yet. Yes, the tone of the assistant was a little direct/short but I wonder if this is to potentially limit the type of responses that the human will give? If I start a conversation being direct, the tone of the conversation is set by that and the assistant won't have to try and deal with the more complex responses of a less formal conversation.
