    The problem with Alexa, Google Now, and Siri

    Voice interfaces have limitations, and not all of them can be solved by better technology.

    Plus its not private enough.

    Wanted to google a pic of a dildo the other day at work (don't ask). Imagine how that would have gone down in an open plan.

    "Hey Siri...find me a picture of a dildo".

    ...deathly silence in office..

    *ostracised for life* <<< or potentially people high-fiving me for having massive balls...not sure.

    *Call from HR*

    Please share the story. It piqued my interest. Does this have anything to do with the hot co-worker?

    Wait...you don't routinely have need of dildo pics in your line of work???

    And yeah...we were arguing over whether dildos exist that have this shape: (they don't...but googling had some really wtf stuff while attempting to find it )

    The whole thing is less exciting than it sounds though...nothing is going to happen between us.


    Also...for the record...this is the most epic derail ever.

    An hourglass shaped dildo? Why??? And how?? Must be insanely uncomfortable. Not that I'm a woman, but having a wife gave me some insight into the female anatomy, so that shape won't really work... Would it?

    It would yes. Presumably the reason why my google image search came up empty. As to the why...think I've scarred enough young mygaming minds already.

    I'm assuming your talking about the voice control and not the hourglass shaped pleasure toy, right?
